A win98 driver will install in NT, but will not work. The best way to find the driver would be to take a look at the card, find the chip-set, copy down the number then google drivers for it.

To find the chip-set, remove the card from the PC, then look at the circuits. There will be one or maybe two large IC's (integrated Circuit chips ) that will have writing on top, or there may be a sticker. In the case of a sticker, you will need to remove it.

Write down the number and name if any from the IC, they might look some thing like : Rtl8139, 3c905a/b/c, or something similar. If I remember correct, Dell uses manly 3com cards.
