Wi-Fi on 95

I got the MA401 Linksys card like so many of you suggested, and I followed all the
instructions of previous posts on Annoyances. I have the drivers and everything
installed, and if I try to ping my router, it works properly.
However, my issue is that I still can't get online. I am getting a wireless connection,
I just am having difficulty with IE 5.5 SP2 recognizing what to do with it.

Uh oh, I just realized I was pinging myself and not the router. So I don't know
what's going on anymore...

Hi Jamison:
Look in your C:\WINDOWS folder for
WINIPCFG.EXE
and start it. (This is a handy utility. You may
want to make a SHORTCUT to it and add it to your
START MENU or DESKTOP.)
In the drop-down menu, do you see an entry for
"NETGEAR MA401 Wireless PC Card"?
If so, click on it to make it stay in the
drop-down menu window.
Now click the RELEASE ALL button, and wait a few
seconds. (You may see a message that says
"already released.") Now click RENEW, wait about
two minutes.
Either some numbers will show up in the IP ADDRESS
and SUBNET MASK windows, or you'll eventually get
a message that says "DHCP Server Unavailable".
Let us know which you get, and we'll know whether
to backtrack, or look further down the line.
Jerry
