I have returned my system to its original state....re-installed from scratch 
an restored from tape important config files.

I have checked the iptables config and all appears OK. I can now connect from 
another machine on the network to the internet. The VMware Win98 machine can 
ping an external address, it can even telnet to an external IP, but it will 
not connect to an www address in explorer.

I must be missing something, is it something to do with DNS/translation ???

Thanks in advance for any help.
