Else You can purchase a usb to nic device. PLEASE NOTE: Before you actually purchase anything, "make sure it is win 98 M.E. compatible . You may find there are issues with getting stuff that is that far back compatible... Just saying...  |

ME was a joke. a bad one.. windows ME will crash all by itself. like a built in feature. just be sittin there all happy with a screensaver and then POOF. its gone... might as well go back to 98. hell even 95, 3.11 is better than ME. |

To get XP to work properly he'll have to go out and buy a license, and spend part of a day installing the thing, and putting up with the hassle of tuning the system manually (drivers etc). All for a kid who wants to play games. I wouldn't waste my time to be honest, and let's remember, XP is sooooo last decade.

You'd be better off than having ME (which went out with the Ark). Quoting: StrangewaysYou say it doesn't have an Ethernet port? Really? Yeah, no ethernet port anywhere. I have an "a" to "a" usb cable, and have it linked now. My PC sees it, but the laptop dont see the PC, the fax modem cards have a small plug/hole in them, kinda strange looking. Im kinda proficient with exploring and changing settings, but Im really lost with this one. Thank you all for helping me, too. My son will really thank you if I can get this to work for him. Gonna check out that google link someone posted, BRB "Majority of Amerika is too awash in its own mediocrity to commit to fighting for freedom" Mojo |
