Windows 98 is able to connect to a wireless connection?

Wireless router for Windows 98 Machines

I have an old Windows 98 machine and want to connect to my wireless router Lybnksys with a lan cable to upgrade the computer via the internet/downloads.  How can I communicate with the router for Windows 98?

Hello JanOtterson,

Support for Windows 98 ended.

For reference:
http://support.Microsoft.com/ph/1139

For Windows 98 compatibility, you should check the specs on the hardware and the software bundled with it. Windows 98 is not compatible wireless zero configuration, so you will need some type of software installed, in order to implement the wireless adapter.

Please check the links below for features and the compatibality for Windows 7 because it is the most recent and supports wireless connectivity.

For Windows 7 configuration required:

  • I get the message when you set up a new user "a temporary user profile is loaded because Windows was not able to connect you with your local profile."

    Dear all,

    I have a Windows PC in my office. Because of some configuration issue, I deleted the domain user and tried to connect to the system with the same user credentials. It identify you with the credentials of the user, but I get a message saying: "a temporary user profile is loaded because Windows was not able to connect you with your local profile."

  • Laptop HP 2000-365DX / rebuilt with Windows 8 / not able to connect to internet

    My son has filled our mobile home of all known viruses of human, and so I had to give up everything and reload the operating system.  I reformatted the laptop with my copy of Windows 8 (64-bit) on the computer and now I am unable to connect to wireless internet.

    When I go to the list of "other devices" in Device Manager, see the following (with the yellow exclamation points):

    • BCM20702A0
    • Ethernet controller
    • Network controller
    • PCI device

    So I guess that the drivers for network cards, etc. are not loaded (for some reason any), but when I try to install the drivers from the HP site, nothing happens.  I can't access the Internet for Windows to automatically update everything.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi qkershner, welcome to the Forums of HP. When you reinstalled Windows, you use HP Recovery or have you installed on a different disk from Windows? If you did a cover of HP it would have installed all the drivers automatically. You would also have the opportunity to restore the drivers using this method: use of the Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

    If not, the drivers for laptops, would be located here: Drivers of laptop HP 2000-365DX
    You will need to download the drivers from another source and bring it to the computer (ie. the thumb drive) to install. When you get your network drivers work, you can try the HP Support Assistant, which hopefully will automatically find the rest of your drivers: HP Support Assistant

    If you install the drivers, and you have problems with them grateful, you can delete items in Device Manager by clicking on them and remove them. Then on reboot I hope to be recognized.

  • Windows Vista not able to support the WPA2 wireless security problem

    Recently, I upgraded my router wireless to a Linksys 400N series N wireless router.  I use WPA Personal / RTK to authenticate and on all my XP and Vista machines, I was able to enter the security credentials and connect to the network. However, on a computer Windows Vista SP2 I be prompted to enter a field of login/password / username each time I try and connect to the network.  There must asking me my password and that's it.  This same card was working fine like WEP when I use my old wireless router.

    I deleted this adapter wireless network and sharing Center, ensured that the machine is part of the domain, uninstalled the wireless network card (which is also a Linksys product), assured the latest version of the driver and tried almost all the trouble shooting tips I can think.

    I've seen this identified as a problem in a few threads but no final resolution.  Any help/suggestions would be appreciated (no suggestion to buy a Mac tho!).

    Update:
    ----------
    Well well, after a diagnosis much more, I have determined that it is certainly a problem of Windows Vista.  If I plug a different adapter in the computer (which runs on a different computer), I get the same problem.  I was on the phone with Linksys for an hour and basically they have thrown in the towel and gave me an RMA for their card, though I doubt it will solve the problem.

    Is there some registry entry to set the type of authentication for a wireless adapter?  It seems that Vista keeps thinking it is the incorrect authentication mechanism.  Is it possible to 'fix' service wireless on Windows?

    Okay, I think that the real problem is that Windows Vista doesn't have the type of select WPA2 security (which is what the router broadcasts).  Is there a way to enter in this somehow?  It seems that Windows determines the types of security available according to the driver for the wireless card.  However, I use a Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter (WUSBG54) and it says that it supports WPA (although I can't determine if it is only WPA or WPA2 as well).  In any case, hope this additional information helps all those who have a few cycles to provide some guidance.

    Hello

    WPA or WPA 2 encryption is actually supported by the wireless card that you have installed on the computer. As you only could use WPA earlier, it seems that the wireless network adapter supports only WPA and WPA 2 encryption key.

    Because the computer is in the domain, we recommend that you post your request here for more support options.

  • I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network.

    original title: Wireless on the Fritz

    I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista.  I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in).  However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network).  I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router."  That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled.  This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »

    The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network.  Maybe who has messed up my settings?  That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.»  However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.

    I don't really know what the problem is.  Any ideas as to what I can do?  I don't want to reset my computer everything.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.

    After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.
    Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
    Method 2:
    I suggest also allows you to check in SafeMode with network.
    Method 3:
    I also suggest you to check the settings of the router firewall.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro M177 MFP: HP Color LaserJet not able to connect to connected HP

    Hello

    I try to activate my printer (HP Color LaserJet M177fw MFP Pro) ePrint and much more, but I'm not able to do it cause connection problem, I guess.

    When I'm trying to 'print the information sheet', for example, the printer is not able to connect (stay on 'Sign in' loop indefinitely).

    My printer is less than a Vodafone EasyBox router, with firewall disabled and no specific barriers defined by me.

    Should I set some port forwarding (even if they should apply to ignore the firewall, when turned on) or any other specific configuration in the router?

    the same connection problem, of course, it happens when I do touch printer and console web administration, of course.

    In addition, I'll let you know that my router is not blocking access, for example, to-from the web (i.e. I am able to manage my NAS from the outside, since he admitted to a DDNS) and other local devices

    I alreay set 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS pri/sec and had an output of cycle after the series of DNS.

    My printer also has a static IP address (defined by the DHCP protocol, based on the MAC address), so not a problem, I think.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Lorenzo

    Hi Lorenzo,.

    To enable Web Services fumctionality, you'll need to install the latest firmware on your printer (version 20160525)

    You can locate the current version of your printer by selecting configuration > reports > Page of Configuration, the firmware version is listed under the information section on the printer.

    Updated the firmware on Linux by following these steps, but I don't know if the latest firmware is available for Linux or not, try:

    http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-Web/tech_docs/man_pages/firmware.html

    If the latest firmware is not available for linux, temporarily install the printer on a Windows PC or a my and install the latest firmware:
