The problem could also be caused by the auto-detect feature on your ethernet
card. On nearly all NIC cards you can set the port to be auto-detect, 100
meg
half or full duplex, or 10 meg half or full duplex. Keep in mind that many
10/100 swithes have software settings (or even jumper settings) to go
between
10 and 100 meg operation. If your switch is set to 100 meg via a
software switch and your card on your PC is set to 10 meg half or full (i.e.
NOT auto-detect) then your card will not communicate with the switch. I'm
not sure how to check this on a Win98 machine, but under win2k it's under
properties of the card in question.

Win98 depended on the driver/software from the vendor. You will need to D/L
the setup software for the eepro100 from Intel. That's what I had to do on
NUMEROUS 9x machines here at work.
