Of course it is possible. I use both on my system. It is all done in the
Control Panel area. Broadband is set up via Internet Options/Connections
tab/Setup button.
Local network connections are created and modified in the Network area.
They can be done by configuring the TCP/IP protocol, but it is usually
easier if the NetBEUI one is used.
I used a poor choice of words. Actually, I meant a dial up connection. A
co worker's daughter will be attending college this fall. I told the co
worker she needed a jack in her daughter's room but once that is installed and
the PC is indeed Windows 98 can a dial up connection be made? There is a
service called metconnect.com for New York City area where the service gives a
free connection by getting a user name and password at the metconnect.com
website and then dialing into the system. My expereience indicated no junk
(e)mail or ads and it is free.

It allows local networks to share
files without going out to the internet. Feel free to ask more questions.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
