Hi chambece looks like you need a comms refresh.
This can be done by running the original win 98 disk you got with the pc,
go into windows setup, and remove tick from comms and restart machine, then re-enter the above and put tick back into comms, this should work and reinstal necessary clean drivers. Hopefully winipcfg should show what you need, also removing and reinstalling the ethernet card from network in the control panel in windows may do the trick.

Hope this helps!

P.s Just remember to make sure you have the driver disk for the ethernet card incase windows needs it.
