Something similar hapened to me a month ago when i installed VPC5, DOS was easy, but W98 a nightmare, i spent around 4 hours trying to conect, and sometimes it did for about 2 minutes then disconect, the problem was that the explorer version was old and the website did not exist, i had to get a new explorer version (a friend downloadedit useing ethernet) it would been easier with a cd.
