How do I change my computer setup from dial up to DSL connection with Windows 98?

Got to the connection tab in your Internet Explorer properties.  Use the connection wizard in there to set up for a connection that is always on...best to use the manual set up in the wizard.\n\nBe sure you have your ethernet cards drivers installed and the device manager shows the NIC card in the hardware profile before you run the wizard.

Click on Start, Control Panel, then Network Connections. Right click on your Internet connection & select Properties. Then select Configure button. \n\nMaximum speed (bps). Users of 33.6K Modems should set this to 56700, while 56K Modem users should select 115200. \n\nEnable hardware flow control. Tick this setting to enable the use of hardware handshaking with your connection. For best connection stability & throughput ensure this setting is Ticked. Though in some (rare) cases you may find Unticking this setting can improve connection stability (Uses Software flow control instead). \n\n \nEnable modem error control. Tick this setting to enable the use of Modem error control, which will attempt to ensure data integrity in the connection, resending any damaged packets as necessary. I’d highly recommend enabling this. There are also Init strings available which can be used to disabled inefficient error control components.\n\nEnable modem compression. Data compression provides faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Winmodem then you can leave this setting Unticked as these Modems do not support hardware compression. For regular, hardware, modems Tick this setting to enable the Modem to perform any data compression, which provides lower CPU usage over using software compression. As a result I’d recommend Ticking this setting for best system performance. \n\nShow terminal window. Tick this setting to have a Pre-dial terminal session appear. If you need to use this you’ll know. I can’t think of any modern ISP that would require you to use something archaic like this, though some more advanced users might use this to test the Modem. For everyone else just leave this Unticked. \n\n \n\nEnable modem speaker. Tick this setting to enable the speaker on the Modem to emit sound. This is fairly useful as you should be able to tell whether or not you can successfully connect or not just by listening to the connection when being dialled up. Untick this setting to mute the Modem’s speaker. \n\nClick Ok & select the Networking tab. \n\n \n\nType of dial-up server I am calling. Set this to PPP: Windows 95/98/NT4/2000, Internet unless your ISP has informed you otherwise, which is unlikely. \n\nNow select the Settings button. \n\n \n\nEnable LCP extensions. LCP (Link Control Protocol) extensions provide a way of establishing, configuring, maintaining, & terminating a PPP connection. You should leave this setting Ticked unless you experiencing problems connecting to your ISP as a result of its enabling. \n\nEnable software compression. Tick this setting to enable software (CPU) data compression for your connection. This will provide faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Modem which can performance compression in hardware then I’d recommend you leave this setting Unticked & allow the Modem to perform any data compression – this should improve system performance slightly as the CPU will not be required to perform a task which can be done on separate, dedicated, hardware. Those would Winmodems should Tick this for optimal upload/download speeds, albeit it at the cost of some CPU cycles. \n\nNegotiate multi-link for single link connections. You can leave this setting Tick unless you experience problems connecting to your ISP (Error code 733 according to Microsoft), in which case Untick this. \n\nClick Ok after you’ve made your changes. \n\nFor the most efficient Internet connection you should Uninstall as many unnecessary Clients/Services/Protocols as possible, e.g. Client for Microsoft Networks & QoS Packet Scheduler. As you may have noticed from my Dial-up connection only Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed.

Connect the routers "internet" port into the cord coming from the DSL modem. If your DSL provider uses PPPOE authentication you will need to configure your router to work with it. You can edit this in your router's configuration page which can be accessed by going to internet explorer and typing its ip address (192.168.1.1 on linksys routers or 192.168.0.1 on dlink) in the address bar. When you hit enter you will be prompted for a password and username. The default for this is typically username:admin password:admin. There will be a section in the configuration where you can add this. Otherwise i would check your physical connections and reset your DSL modem after you connect the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in.\n\nHope this helps :)

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

While the computer is restarting locate and hold the reset button located on the front or back of the router (You may need a paper clip to do this) for 30 seconds.

My experience with Windows 98 machines is that USB or wireless is pretty hopeless.  If the machine doesn't have Ethernet, I'd recommend buying an inexpensive Ethernet card -- you can get them for less than $10.\n\nOnce you have Ethernet, any router will do to connect to DSL.  My favorite brand is Linksys.

open up internet explorer, got tools/internet options, connection and delete anything in teh box below this will remove all dialup settings. \nand then check lan settings and make sure there is a tick in the first box.

you need to get a ROUTER. make sure that the 1 pc thats on dial up has a "nic card" (thats a cat5 port, alittle larger than a telephone plug)  once you get the router.\n1. unplug the DSL modem\n2. plug in the DSL Modem and wait till its finished booting up\n3. now plug in the Router to the DSL modem\n4. now plug in pc1 & pc2 to the router. this will give them both the ability to access the DSL\n\n*note: sometimes the router will need to be configuered correctly, usually you can just put it right into the equation.\nAlso sometimes the DSL modem might need to be unplugged for a minute or more so it can clear its memory before you connect it to the router
