If you can’t connect to a server or if Windows 98 reports an error after you double-click Network Neighborhood, try the suggestions here first, refer to the general troubleshooting steps if necessary.
Make sure you’re using the drivers that are on the drivers CD that ships with this adapter.

Windows 98 is unable to update device driver files |
If you're using Windows 98 and have updated or added an adapter, you may experience a problem with device driver update files not being
copied. (This is a known problem, for which Microsoft has published a Knowledge Base article, Q242150.)

Install prompting for Prodd.vxd and Prokddp.vxd files in Windows 98 |
If you use the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Windows Control Panel to remove an Intel adapter, and then try to install drivers from a later
Product CD, you may see a prompt asking for the following files: "Prodd.vxd" "Prokddp.vxd" This is because Windows is attempting to install the files associated with the earlier driver, which are not present on the later Product CD. To resolve this problem, finish the installation and choose "Skip" when prompted for a missing file. Then, instead of removing the driver, update it with the later Product CD. For instructions on updating the adapter driver, see the "Install the Network Drivers" section in this online guide. |
