Ok Fixed It
The fix which worked was... 1) remove Netbeui on the Ethernet adaptor and modem 2) Disble the modem 3) Disable the 2 unidentified hardware devices sitting in the device list 4) Reboot 5) Get bored with Win98 and lack of progress and install Win98 games from Win98SE CD 6) Browse network and fall over in suprise when it all started working 7) Reboot and just check again Then just to check it: Ok once I had done this I can see the computer sitting in its workgroup and I can share its directories with other computers Ok I admit the installation of solitaire was an inspired guess  ) andprobably had damn all to do with it working... The question is will it remain working when returned to the client?? As you may guess I am not taking bets Thank God Win98 is generally headed for the skip!! The reason I dumped all my Win98 machines and moved over to XP was problems with networking reliability. So for serious useage dont waste time and effort on this, just go out and buy a new tower unit with WinXP on it...it makes more sense.

Strangely it sounds like a problem I read about which was occuring in W95 I
think. Someone goofed and a file wasn't getting installed untill certain games were which could be played over the net. From that one can assume that the MS networking group all had the game installed and never realized without the game their project was broken. Sort of shows the priority of that group, heh?
