Its been a long time since I had anything to do with W98 but I recall when I installed an ethernet card, and it was a Realtek, I had a problem installing the driver. IIRC W98 already comes with a Realtek driver but, in my case anyway, it was the wrong driver. For some reason the Realtek CD will not install it's driver when it finds W98's resident driver. You have to delete it or at least rename it.
Maybe you should check this out or at least ensure ( from Device Manager) that the card and driver is correctly installed and recognised by Windows.

Good luck with it.
