Setting up internet in Windows 98

I just installed Windows 98 in my virtual PC and can't seem to figure out how
to set up the internet. I am running Vista on my laptop and hap previously
installed XP on the VPC and set up the internet without any problems (using
the NAT network setting) ... is there something I need to do differently with
the 98 version? Like during the internet coneection setup wizard do I need to
click a specific sequence of setup options?

As I recall, you need to install TCP/IP under the NIC properties, it's
not automatically installed like later OSes.

sorry, I was wrong. If you were able to run the ICW you should be ok.
When you run winipcfg what do you get as results?
