false modem

[j h]

Windows Update would not install new updates, so I had to
completely reinstall win98se. The setup would not
function properly so I had to del the whole Windows
folder in dos. After a successful install, the problem
is that win98 falsely detects that I have a modem when it
is in fact a network card. Now I cannot connect to the
internet because windows continuously tries to setup the
modem instead of allowing me to connect to the internet.
(This is a different computer)

Please refer this question to a general discussion group for your operating
system; its an OS system, not an internet problem, per se.
