Is it a network problem of an Internet Exploder problem? Can you ping the
relevant sites? If not, and they are NT sites, they may have ICMP shut off
to avoid a bug in NT 4 SP0-SP4. If they are Unix/Linux sites, ICMP should
be working, which would suggest a lower level problem with your computers
under W98.
Which browser? I know I have problems with Netscape under Linux because
some japlets written with M$ J++ appear to have some bugs that crash
Netscape.
