Most likely a TCP/IP Winsock problem caused by spyware being uninstalled.

Some spyware modify the TCP/IP stack and when they are uninstalled they
destroy your ability network. I've not heard of this problem with a 98
update, however if SP2 is installed on an XP machine with some types of
spyware the TCP/IP stack is corrupted. I guess it's possible a recent 98
update could have done this.
