Setup after meltdown

After reformatting and reinstalling Win98 I'm trying to set up
networking.

In Control Panel -> Networking I bring up properties for the TCP/IP
listed for my adapter. In Bindings it shows two components, neither of
which is the network adapter.

Is this right? The adapter bindings show TCP/IP, but TCP/IP doesn't
show the adapter?

Yes, that is right.

What exactly does Control Panel | Networking show? What are the two
components that you see?

"Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing" should
appear.

If the computer has more than one network adapter (e.g. Dial-Up
Adapter and Ethernet NIC), it should show:

Dial-Up Adapter
NIC
TCP/IP->Dial-Up Adapter
TCP/IP->NIC

If the computer has only one network adapter, the adapter name doesn't
appear in the bindings. It should show:

Dial-Up Adapter
TCP/IP

or

NIC
TCP/IP

If the NIC doesn't appear at all, it probably isn't properly
installed. Check Device Manager to see.
