If you had Windows 95, you had "Safe mode with network support." And than if you had cable or dsl, I'll bet that you could connect. I've got it here, but I won't try it now.
But http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;179128&Product=w98 states this works only in Windows 98 if you install real-mode (i.e. DOS) network drivers. So check the diskette that came with your network card (if you've got cable or dsl).
But I wonder if it's worth the trouble. Is this new version so much better/safer for you than the previous one?

I am trying to download and install a Qwik-Fix product. I have had trouble before with Qwik-Fix but got over it last time by installing in safe mode. This time I need to be online to install and it seems you can't do this in safe mode. Or can you?
help would be much appreciated.
