I have Windows 98. I have connected a DSL modem. After installing the modem, I cannot connect to the Internet. Before I installed the DSL modem, I had a Cable modem. I was able to connect to the internet with the Cable modem.

You probably got the software that came with the modem. There must be configuration utility that prompts you for your user name and password. Try running that utility. I had the same problem last week. All of the drivers and hardware worked perfectly, but my modem somehow "forgot" the user name and password. I was about to reinstall the OS altogether, but I ran that utility and here I am. I have 2 PCs connected to that modem. One running XP and one running W98. Both were cut from the net. Once I ran the utility both came trough.
