[Home Network] Need Help Installing Wireless Client - No CD

Sorry for the noob question, did check the BSFA FAQ before I posted this, couldn't find the answer.

I've got a home network running on a 2wire HomePortal. Connection PC is fine, another desktop PC on the network is fine, but a laptop running Win 98 and connecting through a 2wire wireless PC card had to be reformatted. Of course, now I can't find the 2wire Setup CD.

I manually downloaded the driver for the PC card and the Client Manager. I think I set up both properly; I know the PC card is recognized and working fine and I followed all instructions for setting up the Client Manager profile: found the name of the network, entered the correct encryption key, set to renew IP. The little bars show me I've got an excellent/good radio connection...but still can't surf.

I'm not sure what step to take next. Thanks, appreciate any help.

check to make sure the client didn't default back to "alpha numeric" for the network key. It should be hexadecimal.

Miami, FL		 Thanks...that wasn't it, though.

Anyway, I finally found my CD, turns out the problem was my fresh install of Win98 only had IE 5 and the HomePortal requires IE 5.5 or higher. Thanks for the suggestion.
