What solved the last of my disconnected-laptop issues (on Win98 at least)  
was adding a LOCALHOST entry in "c:\windows\hosts" (create it if needed):

  127.0.0.1 localhost

Win98 looks here first before it tries accessing your configured DNS
servers, which is when it would try to access the network.
