Does the Win98 host have an IP address? If so, what is it? Where did it get
its address (do you have 2 DHCP servers running)?

Pings fail in many ways, and the failure messages are diagnostic. See the
ping FAQs I referred you to earlier. "it can't ping it" is still too vague
to troubleshoot.

And "can't do anything to it" is a meaningless description. You only know it
can't do what you tried, and if you don't tell us what you tried, we don't
even know that much.

Assuming eth0 is the router's external interface (that's conventional but
not carved in stone), there is no conflict in the addresses themselves. You
don't specify a netmask for the LAN (or for the external network, for that
matter), but the typical /24 netmask would work just fine.

I think it is time for you to read the FAQ about "how do I ask for help",
then follow its advice about how to post a systematic description of your
problems.
