running my trusty Gateway Windows98 PC, installed a D-Link 802.11 wireless
card and wireless router. Win98 machine connects to wireless network and
able to go to internet. Turned on the WEP encryption, still connects to
wireless network however cannot go to internet, get the standard, unable to
connect message, check proxy settings, blah blah blah.

I have a windows XP laptop with a Dlink card in it and it connects to
internet with no problem.

Any ideas?

Are you sure you've given the right key? I have a '95 laptop with a
wireless pccard, and when I give the wrong WEP key there's no error
message. Excellent connection, network found, but no go.
