When you start Windows 98 by using the "/d:n" switch, for example, bytyping "win /d:n" (without quotation marks), Windows 98 may appear tostart in safe mode with network support, but you may not have networksupport or connectivity. Note that you may experience this behavior eventhough this switch worked correctly in Microsoft Windows 95.
