I am having this same problem with a computer also running windows 98se but I dont use it much so I haven't tried to fix it yet, but I am interested in a solution also if there is one.

Well you're in luck, I hope. I work on computers all the time. I have found that most of the time when you can't get Online and it is not a hardware issue, then it is spyware. I see it all the time at work. Go to download.com ,on one of the other computers of course, and look for AdAware. Install and run it. That usually fixes it. If it does work, make sure you update it and then run it again. This should fix you problem.
