Do you have the software installation disk from your internet service provider? It turns out that win98 isn't "natively friendly" to the PPPoE protocol used by many ISPs so you need to use the installation disk. If you have an ethernet card and can hook directly to the router it will actually be easier to set it up, you just open the icwoobe.exe to connect to the LAN.

What disk are you putting in? Have you looked in the Comcast disk for any installation instructions for win98? You may have to follow a certain procedure, and can't just start anywhere. Maybe someone who uses Comcast can step in here and help.
