Reinstalling Windows is never a good idea. There are always better solutions.
It means you now need all the driver files for your hardware, including your modem,
as the simplest option now is to try reinstalling the wireless modem. You will need
the *original* dial-up software supplied by your ISP, and the wireless modem installation
disks that came with the PCI card.
If you haven't got the former, ask your ISP for it. They will send you an installation
CD (they almost never supply floppies now). But remember to specify that you need
a version for Windows 98.
I would be very surprised if the ISP can supply a wireless version for Windows 98.
To the best of my recollection there were no wireless Internet installations when
Win98 was the latest O/S on the block!
You may have to settle for a cable modem connection initially. Either you're not
using Windows 98, or you got your wireless software from a different source - sometime
after 1998. You'll have to reinstall the wireless network drivers also, as step 2,
after you've first reinstalled the modem drivers.
Windows 98 did not come with native wireless network drivers. That's inevitably a
PCI card add-on; the drivers would typically be supplied together with the PCI card.
The first step is to get an internet connection, by cable, to ensure the connection
itself works. Then try to conect to it using wireless, once you've ironed out any
problem with the connection.
