Hello everyone,I recently aquired an older Omnibook XE2 running Windows 98 V1.I purchased it basically as a back up to an old CTX EZBook 700 that I use for programming old/vintage public safety radios and dispatch consoles. These items use DOS based software on floppies. The computer is in almost pristine,unused condition and works great. It has a built in phone modom but I wanted to connect it to my cable internet,so I purchased a 3COM EtherLink III 3C589C Lan card and dongle from a dealer on ebay and installed it. The computer installed it just fine and there are no error messages or apparent conflicts in Device Manager. It simply won't connect to the internet.There are three LED lights on the dongle for "10/100","half/full","and "ln/act".None of these light up. This is my first time installing one of these cards and I am at a loss as to where to look for the issue.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
