all machines on the network. If you don't understand TCP/IP, you
have another choice. That is, follow the instruction below to
modify the network settings only on the newly added Windows 98
machine:
1. Click Start/Settings/Control Panel. Double-click
the Network icon to open the Network dialog box.
2. On the configuration tab, highlight
TCP/IP - > NDC ND5300 PnP Ethernet Adapter
and then click the Remove button to unbind the
TCP/IP protocol from the LAN adapter.
3. Click the Add button. select Protocol and click
Add button. Select Microsoft in the left pane,
select NetBEUI in the right. Click OK to install
the NetBEUI protocol.

to the list in the network component pane.
