problem with internet connection win98se

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

It could be a software conflict in 98SE or a loose connection or the software
settings in 98SE that are preventing connection to the Internet. Can you
provide us with more detailed information and any relevant error messages
please. Thanks in advance and have a wonderful night.
