[Guest]

1) On Windows 95-98, right click on 'Network Neighborhood' then click 'Properties'
2) Click 'Add', select "Protocol', click 'Add' again
3) Select 'Microsoft', select 'IPX/SPX compatable protocol'
4) Click 'OK' click then 'OK' again when asked to restart your computer
You will probably be asked to insert your Win 98 CD
IPX/SPX will be added to your dialup and your Network adapters
5) Go back to properties - step 1 - and remove IPX/SPX from your dialup adapters
6) Restart your computer and your protocol will available to games

How do I do this?
There doesn't seem to be any place to install anything in the Local area
connection and if I remove the bridge don't I lose my connection to the
internet?

Right click and remove the network bridge, then install IPX on the
local area connection. Ignore the 1394 connection.

I removed the network bridge and now I have no ADSL connection.

I only have 5 hours of dialup and have no idea how to get my ADSL back.
