win98se to router no internet issue

I have a win98se laptop that I have connected to a router.
I can ping the router, I get an IP address with release / renew.
I can NOT see the other PCs on the network
I can NOT get to the internet
I have setup the default gateway with the ip of my router.
I have tried setting up a static IP.
The win98se has the family login. I "think" I changed the primary
login to the microsoft client network login.

I have other PCs on this router that work fine. Both win98 and winxp
and win2k.
I have tried two different nic connections, wireless card and hard
wire to card. Neither work. but both do get IP addresses.

Any ideas ??

Have you checked the DNS settings? With my router and W98 and static IPs I
had to set the router as the standard DNS.
You can verify if this is the problem if you type an IP address in the
browser address field and see if the page loads.

When I tried to set the router as the DNS, the TCP/IP
configuration demanded a Host Name - what to do then?

Assuming that could be filled in,then suppose it demanded a Domain
Name - what to do then?

I am trying to commission an Olivetti 510 running 98SE (333 MHz Laptop)
with a PCMCIA 100/10MBit NIC onto my network.

Up till yesterday, it would come onto the network and had Internet
access.

Yesterday I moved it into another room (UTP cable had already been
tested with a different PC) and it ceased to work at all, even when
bringing it back to its original location.

Now, (checked using ipconfig/all) it does not even pick up a valid
IP address from the router, where it used to. I tried assigning a static
IP address in the router's range, and could access the router's own
pages, but attempts to configure DNS (having already set the gateway to
be the router's IP address) and hit the above DNS configuration snag.

1. Why would the laptop suddenly stop DHCPing from the router?
2. What about Host and Domain names for configuring DNS?
