+NOTE: Before buying a non-Compaq PC Card, check the documentation that comes with it to be sure it conforms to standards set by the PCMCIA.

Using Network PC Cards

Your Internet PC can support many types of Ethernet-based and Token Ring-based network cards. This support allows you to connect to other computers, printers, modems, and the Internet.

The Microsoft Windows 98 Getting Started guide and the documentation that came with your network card will have more information about setting up to use a network or compatible network card.

Compaq Netelligent PC Card is one of the compatible network PC Cards you can use with your computer. The Compaq Web site lists many compatible network cards:

If your computer came with an integrated Ethernet controller, you will not need a PC Card to connect to a network. To determine whether you have an integrated Ethernet controller, check the right panel of your computer to see if you have an Ethernet port.
