When this problem first occurred I deleted my hosts file, with no effect. I
deleted lmhosts with no effect.
I'm going to try Netscape later, then reinstall Win 98 if that doesn't work.
Any other ideas?

Try renaming or relocating from c:\windows Lmhost.*  Do a find file for
host*.*  I had this same problem with Win 98, and the solution for me was
deleting the LMhost file.  Just to be safe, you should move it from its
current location or rename it.
