D_Link DWL 650 Adapter

[Jack]

Has anyone been able to install a D-Link DWL-650D to work
properly? I cannot -- The Conditions are:
Signal Strength: 86% Link Quality: 98%.
D-Link adapter not shown in IP Configuration (winipcfg)
Device manager shows the card as working properly.
SSID: ACTIONTEC - looks good
Card appears to be working but it seems to have a corrupt
TCP/IP stack in Windows98.

Does the Windows98 computer have several other network adapters? If
so, it might have reached the limit on TCP/IP bindings. This
Microsoft Knowledge Base article describes the limit and shows how to
increase it:

Unable to Bind Protocols to More Than 5 Network Adapters

Steve, Thanks for the suggestion. I am using 4 network
adapters, so this does appear to be the problem.
