I considered a virus and a problem at the server end, but since my Win Me machine could perform at the web site end, I ruled out the possibility of a site problem.  I had kept my AV current, and did not turn up any virii on either Win 98 SE machine.

Last night I got an error message on one of the Win 98 SE machines that said something like "you have urlmon.dll 5.0.????; you need 6.0.2800.1167. I had done an update to both Win 98 SE machines that appears to have overwritten the 6.0.2800 urlmon.dll with an older one.  I copied the 6.0.2800 version from my Win Me machine to the Win 98 SE machine, and voila everything works fine.  I have seen this urlmon.dll a number of times over the past few years.  When you are having trouble with the Internet you should always look at urlmon.dll.  It is installed as part of IE 6/Outlook Express 6, etc.
