How to network Axim and win 98 laptop

I have an Axim equipped with a wireless Ambicom compactflash 802.11b card. I f I purchase a wireless USB adapter for the Laptop, with no AP or Router, how do I configure the laptop with the Windows 98 operating system. I have seen info on how to do this with XP but not Win 98?

Can anyone walk me through this? I would appreciate the help!
Thanks

You can run both cards in Adhoc mode and assign static IPs to them. 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 for example.

It's pretty simple but I don't have a Win98 PC in front of me. Why not give it a shot, review the manaul for the NIC and let us know where you get stuck.

in windows 98 bring up the propeties of network neigerhood and find the TCP/IP protacol that is bound to the USB wireless adapter.

selecte its properties and change is i.p number to a fixed i.p ie 192.168.1.1 ok your way out and then reboot.


on the Axim set the i.p for the wirelesss card to fixed i.p using a number such as 192.168.1.2


and as the last post said use ad hoc mode

should then work
