the 3C905 family of NICs. If you purchased a 3Com 3C905b-TX NIC separately, do not

If Dell installed the Windows 98 operating system on your computer, Windows 98
automatically detects and installs the NIC driver. This subsection describes how to
reinstall the Windows 98 NIC driver under these two scenarios:
You need to reinstall the NIC driver for a completely new Windows 98
installation.
You need only to reinstall the NIC driver for an existing Windows 98 installation;
for example, you need an updated driver or suspect that you need to replace a
corrupted driver.
See the appropriate section for your situation.
Follow these steps to reinstall the NIC driver for a new Windows 98 installation:
1. Use the Program Diskette Maker (located in the Dell Accessories program folder)
to make a diskette copy of the NIC drivers installed on your hard-disk drive.
