Setting up a network connection in Korea

[scontron]

I'm here in the ROK and a Win 98 computer I am using was recently fixed up after a major disruption. It is connected to a network via an ethernet cord, but is not connecting when I load Explorer.

I tried to run the connection wizard but it was all in strange characters. Is there some way I can temporarily make the Windows in English, or alternatively, is there a way to configure the computer from Dos?

Any advice is welcome.

Can you make any sense of what you see when you open the Network applet in Control Panel? What do you need for compatibility - TCP/IP with IP address assigned automatically or do you need to assign a static IP?

I wish I knew what to say about the IP. I'm connecting to the Internet through a computer downstairs from the problem-computer. Both of these computers are connected to 5Ports fast ethernet switching hub.

I tried running a wizard, but it was the connection wizard, I think I need the network connection wizard, maybe they are the same thing?

Well, I was able to get connected using screenshots from he web to help me navigate. The connection was already there, I just had to click the correct radio buttons. Thanks for the attention.
