The TCP/IP Protocol is vital to your connection. To get to where these setting are follow these steps:

(NOTE: Before you enter your network, be sure that you have no other programs open, close everything that is running before you continue any farther.)
  1. Double-click on My Computer
  2. Double-click on Control Panel
  3. Double-click on the Network icon.

Now that the Network Settings window is open you need to left-click once on the word TCP/IP (May be TCP/IP --> Dial-Up Adapter), this will highlight it. Now click on the Properties button below it. Windows 98 versions will pop up a warning box, click OK and you will be in the TCP/IP Settings.

The last step is to click on the WINS Configuration tab and make sure it's exactly the same with "Use DHCP for WINS Resolution" selected:

Now that everything is matching up click the OK button at the bottom and you will return to the network screen. Be SURE that if you made any changes you have to click OK on the Network Settings screen and ONLY if you have the required CAB files or the Windows Installation CD.

Should you make changes and click OK or click OK by accident, don't panic. Press down the Ctrl key, while holding it down press the Alt key and hold it down (you are holding both the Ctrl and Alt keys down) and while those are pushed down press the Delete key.  This will bring up the Task Manager and you can release the three keys. You will see a list of things in the task manager and you will need to left click once on the line that says "Insert Disk", this will highlight that task. Now that Insert Disk is highlighted you need to click on End Task and it should disappear. If it doesn't disappear from the list right away, wait a few seconds and another window should pop up, click the button labeled "End Now" on this screen. Once the task is ended press the cancel button and try and find your setup disk or call your manufacturer.
