    Yes. That's all you really had to worry about. (provided it's compatible: which it, in all likelihood, is.)



    Aside: Just make sure that you have anti-virus, and anti-spyware and a decent firewall software installed.

    If you use a real cabled ethernet card even DOS with 640K of RAM will work on Internet. (Only about 400K free when you load TCP/IP) (though browsing is no fun).

    WfWG3.11 32 bit TCP/IP stack also works with ethernet. You need OLD browsers though!

    Win3.1, Win3.11 and WinFor Wrogroups 3.11, Win95, Win98 and Win 98SE have all been used by me to access Internet via ethernet card.

    Wireless Netoweing with WEP or WPA can be tricker. Win98SE and COMPATIBLE card is recommended.

    Win 98SE is better than WinME :)

    Avoid USB networking or USB modems, esp before Win98SE
