    Being told by Belkin that my system lacks network files
    needed to install a wireless network between two home
    PC's. The router recognizes the signal from the cable
    modem but the PC does not receive signal from router.
    Works fine when cable hooked directly into PC. The older
    PC running on Windows 98SE. Service tech had me try to
    locate "winipcfg" file but came up empty. Cannot find
    anything on Microsoft website to fix problem. Any
    suggestions?

    Make sure you have installed Dial Up Networking. It sounds
    counter-intuitive, but you need this to do any kind of networking in
    Win98. Install it from the additional Windows components in Add/Remove
    Programs.
