Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install an additional network adapter using the Network tool in Control Panel, you may receive the following error message:

Your System Allows Only 6 Instance(s) of TCP/IP

CAUSE

This error message can occur if you already have six (or more) network adapters installed, and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is bound to six of the existing network adapters. Windows 98 can bind TCP/IP to only six network adapters at one time.
