check that the ethernet card is installed properly in the device manager as well. It should be classified as network adaptor.

Then go to start-> run -> winipcfg

you should have the nic in the drop down list- you are looking to get an ip address starting 62/80/81/82/213.

If the nic is not in the list it means it is not bound to tcp/ip so from network in the control panel, remove all of the items with tcp/ip, reboot and then try to add them again. It will prompt you for the win98cd or cab files.

If you are getting an ip address starting 192 check that the sync and rdy lights are on on the modem. If you are getting an ip starting 169, unscrew the coax cable from the modem and reboot the pc. Then try renewing the ip address. It should then pick up a 192 address.
