There is a known problem with computers running Windows 98 SE that use >350MHz AMD processors, and USB controllers from Via Technologies (you can check the maker of your USB Controller using the Device Manager). NOTE! I’ve had reports of (and experienced myself) problems with installing USB-Ethernet adapters on some machines. Let us know if you find a combination that works! Many users have been unsuccessful, but there are successes. There are mixed reports on using two USB-Ethernet adapters on the same computer.

Windows XP standard drivers do seem to work decent enough and with USB 2.0 there are even less installation and set-up issues, than with pervious versions of Windows OS. You can share your Internet connection or just transfer data between PCs in different rooms by using standard Ethernet Cat5 twisted pair cabling.
USB 2.0 to Ethernet Adapters are compatible With Windows 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP. USB 2.0 Ethernet Network adapters allow you to connect to a hub or switch to communicate with other systems on the network. You have an iMac! ( Go here for more info on iMacs.) Your computer doesn’t support IRQ sharing (for PCI NICs only). You don’t have any open expansion slots in your computer Common reasons for not adding a second NIC are:
