Ok, Hubby’s boss gave him a Dell desktop PC (tower, keybrd, HUGE monitor, etc..) it runs on Win 98 & we did get the reinstall CDs, etc… so that’s not an issue.

I have my laptop set up with my PC card to run wirelessly off the router. now this HUGE old Dell doesn’t have built in wireless, or anything, but it has USB ports (no PCMCIA slot either! or I wouldn’t be so worried)… now I am about to send my laptop out for a few weeks and I thought it would be a great time to set up the Dell. I want to go wireless and very very cheap on any type of adapter. I must go wireless though. no other option for location 1 story down from the wireless router.

so what is the fastest CHEAPEST way to go? AND I don’t know if it’s Win98 or 98SE — and some say down to SE and I guess that would mean 98 reg. does work?? I know nothing about 98 anymore… I went from 95 to ME and then XP Pro.

**** also – can I network the old dell w/my XP PRO laptop? will they be able to talk ?????
