    You should be able to just put in a pci wireless card!!!! Have you ever set up a wireless connection before? If not...there is some configuration involved!! but it still shouldn't be that big of a deal!!

    is there any software required as well??? The thing is if software needs to be installed it needs to be compatible with the first edition of windows 98..

    Thanks though for your response. I'll try looking harder
