Yes, usually this is because the computer has not been able to negotiate the DNS server settings.
Go to START, RUN and type in winipcfg (win98) and then use the dropdown to see the PPP adaptor and check to see if it has negotiated the IP address and DNS servers - if not then you will need to enter them manually into the Dialup Connection.
Also, open an MS Dos prompt and type
PING 212.58.224.36
If you get a positive reply then it's all connected ok and the DNS just needs fixing as above - otherwise it's something else.

... then you need to do Start > Run ..., type cmd and then in the command window that appears type ipconfig /all. This will give you your DNS settings. |
