Information about LAN to RS232

Well I use the USB PCI card because I have external disks.
As for the rest you told me to look for, I'll try but I see it will be a difficult task, find one for sale!

EDIT:
I found this, is this the right one?

yes!

You only need one, so you can sell-on the other one too.

Perfect, I'll take it then!

I bought the device. It will arrive at the end of the month. Question: What USB cable should I get? It is not included with the item.

I think you need the USB Type A to USB Type B (2.0). They are commonly used for printers.

So, the device has arrived.
I tried to install the drivers but I get an error.
When I started the installation the following message appeared:
Disconnect the USB cable (if connected) from the CATC USB/Ethernet Link
I have not connected the device.
I continued with the installation and the following message appeared:
Setup found at previous installation. Do you want to remove it?
This message is quite strange, I have never installed this driver before, but to be safe I said yes.
Here's what it looked like in the end:

Which OS are you using right now?

Microsoft Windows ® 98 and Windows® 95 (OSR2.1) are said to be supported according to the manual.

If you are using Windows 95, maybe you need OSR 2.1.

The manual is available here:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/214772/Belkin-F5u011.html

Maybe that will help you.

I saw some more info on Error 132, and a possible fix is to exit all other programs, including the one inside the task bar.
Good luck.

I downloaded the driver installer from my link on page 1. I'd suggest extracting the entire setup file in 7-zip onto a floppy disk, plugging in the USB adapter and installing the driver file from a:\win98&2k

Hopefully that will work on Windows 95 and you don't need to use the explicit installer setup.exe

I ended up installing Windows 98SE because with Windows 95 OEM SR 2.1 there was no way to install the drivers. I have no idea why.
A real shame, I love Windows 95 more!
In any case, the installation went without problems, and here is the result:

It connects to the internet, and I'm downloading all the updates!!
I access the page to update windows!

I'm looking for updates for windows

Found! And now I install everything!

Another thing, I noticed that the icon of the PC connected to the internet does not appear, is there a way to display this icon? I also don't want the PC constantly connected to the Internet. Is there a way to have it connected online manually, so that I can connect and disconnect it whenever I want?

Wow, you gave up incredibly easily there. Did you not even try what I suggested?

Absolutely not. Like I said, I've tried all the suggestions and more, but the drivers won't install on windows 95.
The installation file (F5U011.exe) is already a compressed package.
It starts and extracts all the files. In this case I extracted them to Floppy and also to disk. It doesn't work either way. I also tried to manually install the drivers, telling Windows to look for the files, in the folder where I extracted all the files. But he finds nothing.

Advice on how to manually activate the internet connection? And prevent the PC from always being connected?
