Solve : ReInstalling Drivers, Win98, For Internet Connecti?

1.	Solve : ReInstalling Drivers, Win98, For Internet Connecti?
Answer» I recently reinstalled windows 98 on my desktop computer, wiping the old hardrive clean. The disc i used to reinstall was from a friend and not the original win98 the PC had. The look of it is obviously more primitive (if that makes sence), my BEST guess is because it's not SE. My only issue with the newly installed Win98 is that it won't connect to the internet. I checked some of the hardware on the control panel and low and behold everything to help me connect is adorned with a (!), being the PCI Communication Device, PCI Ethernet Controller, PCI Input Controller, and PCI MULTIMEDIA Audio Device. When i try to fix the problem i get the message: The DRIVERS for this device are not installed (Code 28) and then to reinstall the drivers. It gives you the option of checking what drivers I want Windows to search for the DRIVER in, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way i can fix this? Can i download the drivers i need online?You need to re-install the Mainboard drivers that came with your machine. These will be more specialised than any Win98 drivers...If you don't know anything about the hardware, download on another machine and run on this one Everest HOME. Make a report and post it here if you do not understand how to find the right drivers. ONLY the correct ones will work! http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.htmlQuote If you don't know anything about the hardware, download on another machine and run on this one Everest Home.

Now how do I determine how to find the right driver information?Post the contents here, or attach the file etc. so we can advise. Unfortunately, I can't transfer the report to this computer as the problem PC has no internet and won't allow me to save the data to a disc. Is there any specific information i can find to relay?Save the report to the desktop and copy it to a floppy...Ok, so i've concluded i need the following drivers: -Davicom CNet CN200 Pro Fast Ethernet Adapter -Harmonics (Conexant) Data/Fax/Remote TAM Modem Ofcourse, I Google'd them and the only posotive leads I got to were pay sites. If I'm going to drop some bucks to get these drivers, whats the best site for the job? Also is there any way i can get them free? Thanks.If you could copy and paste the whole report here that would be a whole lot better. I can see NO reason to ever pay for drivers.Quote Ok, so i've concluded i need the following drivers: -Davicom CNet CN200 Pro Fast Ethernet Adapter -Harmonics (Conexant) Data/Fax/Remote TAM Modem Ofcourse, I Google'd them and the only posotive leads I got to were pay sites.
