I am having a similar problem. My Win 98 machine is dropping the
network connection often after a period of inactivity, and sometimes
while using IE. I have tried a number of unsuccessful fixes, including
reseating the NIC, removing and reinstalling the drivers, TCP/IP, etc.
Sometime IPCONFIG RELEASE/RENEW will fix the problem, but usually I
have to reboot. The problem appeared within the past several weeks,
and I suspect one of Microsofts many security patches is the culprit.
Dell tech support has recommended reformatting my drive and
reinstalling Windows.
