    i have my pc running dual os with xp pro and 98, my bb (ntl) is fine on xp but nothing is happening on 98, is this because win 98 needs to connect via usb ?

    i have win98 on ethernet.

    have you installed drivers for your nic in 98?
    check control panel > network > tcp/ip for "insert nic here"
    see if its set up properly

    Any PC shop should have them for under €10 (depending on the length)
