The information in some KB articles is rather confusing.

Q238668  lists the iphlpapi.dll being included with W98 SE, which is the case, but 
nowhere they say it's an update of an
existing component on W98.

Q194507 states:
SP4 updates the API with a new .dll so that applications can communicate to a TCP/IP 
stack.

Q193059 states:
The IP Helper API (IPHLPAPI) is a public API that provides Windows network 
configuration and statistics information to
Windows 32-bit applications. The API is available for Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 
and later, and for Windows 98 and
Windows 2000. Not all IP Helper APIs are available for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 
platforms.

Here they mention W98, but also that not all API's are available on W98 (and NT4), 
nowhere they mention which ones
aren't available on W98 (SE?).

Talking about the "IP Address Class NT4" they say:

However, most of these APIs are not supported on Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.

The IP Helper APIs available for Windows NT 4.0 SP 4 are listed below:
GetIpAddrTable: Allows an application to retrieve IP address information

So it looks like, you will have to look carefully which ones you need and are 
supported on W98.

Right, I was looking on an old W98 system, and didn't find the IP helper
DLL , but it's there on a Win98 Second Edition.
