Airport Extreme and Windows 98?

[Rivix]

Alright, so I have an older computer that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme. It has windows 98, so obviously I can't connect to it via WAN because the AirPort utility disc is uncompatable.

Can I connect to it via LAN, and how would I do that? I just plugged it in, but it seams to be having trouble. Thanks for the help!

Reboot the 98 box

Make sure the network adapter has the driver installed.

Well im trying to connect via LAN, so there isn't a wireless network adapter. Also, the AirPort CD dosn't support Windows 98; but why do you need the AirPort Utility for LAN?

Bumped in desperation!

winipcfg - type that under START / RUN. Make sure you refresh the network adapter and you should grab an IP address automatically.
