Uninstall the IP stack, and reinstall it. I have seen this happen when a
virus scanner or ad scanner removes a worm that has attached itself to the
winsock. The links are not repaired, and the packets are lost in transit.
There is also a winsock repair utility that I have used successfully in the
past:

Or you could do it by manually:

Good Luck!

Subject: [CGUYS] A windows 98 question
I work with individuals with disabilities. One young man needs to run
Windows 98, because that is the newest system that will run some of his
adaptive software. The home he lives in has wireless internet. He had
a wireless card put into his computer about a year or so ago. About 2
weeks ago he said that he lost his internet connection. I went over to his
home, the wireless connection still works for other computers. (I tested
it with a laptop running XP.) I went to control panel > System > device
manager and checked out the properties on his wireless card which said
that the device was functioning properly. I looked at the card/antenna
from the back of the computer. Its light was on and when I tried to look
up something on the internet (a web page) the other light would start to
blink as it looked for a connection. As I look at everything looks like it
should work. What do you think might be wrong? Despite what the device
manger says do you think it may be the card? Any advice would be greatly
appreciated!
Steve
