HELP! Windows 98 and the Internet!

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!

 

Humm, something kinda like this happened to me last week when i tried to setup my ethernet, i just uninstalled my connection from the pc and reinstalled it and it worked.

 

Thanks but i tried it and no luck!

 

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

 

re-did the whole hdd and no luck thanks tho

 

Really thats odd, Could any of your hardware be damaged?

 

NO in Divice manager most things are working and the things that arent dont need to be

 

no reinstralled drivers and no conflicts like I said it was fine for 2 weeks

 

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
