I formatted my 2nd computer and did a fresh install of Win98SE.
I've reinstalled all drivers (best versions) and all works well except internet connection. IPCONFIG shows ip address 0.0.0.0 and it will not renew; no error message, just no change.
NIC is OVISLINK Fast Ethernet Adapter v1.1 and I have the most current driver for it. Device manager shows adapter installed correctly. ControlPanel->Networking shows adapter bound to TCP/IP, acquire everything auto, looks OK.
I can't think what else can be wrong. Any ideas what I'm missing here?
I'm not interested in suggestions to upgrade, this secondary computer is for kids and I will not be upgrading to a newer version. Constructive ideas within 98SE please :)

whatismyip.com won't load on the computer with the issue, naturally, since it can't get online. It has no access whatsoever, can't even ping the router.

Control Panel - > Network - > TCP/IP
Assign a static IP address. DHCP on your modem/router may not be giving windows an address, so set it to static IP, and use 192.168.1.10 in the configuration.

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some drive problems can be easily fixed by yourself using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

Is your ip address set to static?
