I installed an ethernet port on my Windows 98 pc and i had the internet on it through lan for like 2 weeks, then, it suddenly quit on me (the internet) and i cant get on any im's or web pages. I tried installing a new browser and reinstalling the port and drivers and also checking to see if a connection is going through the cable in the back of the router and i cant fix it. I have no idaea what to do and microsoft and ibm want $150!

I don't know if you would want to do this at all but you could always format your hdd.

Hi,
Does you computer communicate with the router ok?
YES/NO

Has your machine got a static ip? If not has the router assigned one correctly?
YES/NO

Have you done A/V and spyware scans?
YES/NO

Hope one of the above helps.
Cheers
