What kind of wireless hardware do you have? Rather than mess around with this, you could use an old router as wireless client bridge, connecting to the WiFi network and allowing onward connectivity via Ethernet. This is OS independent and indeed, does not require the modern system even to be on. …

Windows sucks as a router, always did and probably always will. That being said I think it should "just work" if the Win98 TCP stack is set to use DHCP. Did you check if it's getting IP assigned at all? Checking ipconfig on Win98, it does assign an address and subnet mask, but not a default gateway …

Okay, so here's the situation: I got an ethernet card for my Windows 98 PC, and I'm trying to connect to the internet via connection sharing through my main Windows 11 PC, which is connected via Wi-Fi (I don't have direct access to the router). The card I have is a LinkSys LNE100TX V4.1 and I …

Ok, I fixed it. The 3Dfx renderer expects a Glide2x library version of 2.60 at least. Otherwise it unloads Glide and falls back to the sw renderer, but the unload is done from DllMain, that's why exiting threads get stuck and the process gets into deadlock. Good catch! So this will be addressed in …

For whatever reason, dgVoodoo's Glide wrapper seems to cause Heretic II to crash when the 3dfxGL_Ht2 driver is applied. This usually manifests as the game showing a grey screen (black if using D3D12) and becoming completely unresponsive. I'm aware of different Glide driver versions for Heretic II, …
