I'm thinking of upgrading to XP on one machine. A pre-install XP compatibility program tells me that XP doesn't support Netbeui, which my Linksys wireless LAN appears to use.

I have users with both flavors at home, in addition to a Win2K laptop that I provide that seem to work well with Linksys wireless products. Basically everything is tcp/ip and should work well as long as that Win98 box is Second Edition (original 98 is a problem).

Windows XP has been great, except htat I constantly download changes to make certian no one can break into my computer. But I like it better than WIN 98.

Yep, should work fine. I've connected XP and 98SE with Linksys wireless before with no problems.

Good luck finding it though. ;^)
