    Like what the TCP/IP settings are, what the network is connected to the internet through, what you have tried to make a fix, what messages you get, and any other info that would give us a clue.  I'm not trying to be snotty, but so far all you've said is "my computer doesn't work on the internet".  That leaves possibilities wide open....

    Also the cable modem ethernet cable goes to the WAN or Internet port on the wireless router.  All wired computers go to the LAN ports of the router.  Set all TCP/IP settings to obtain an IP address automatically.

    Which make and model router do you have?  Are you sure the values you posted are correct?  Having an IP address that is the same as the gateway and DHCP server addresses is unusuall.

    Model Router is: Linksys WRT54G
     
    that is what showed up in the WinIPCFG on the Windows 98 computer...i see something else that is different on both computers...on the Windows 98 computer the Node is Broadcast and on the Windows XP computers the Node is Hybrid...will this prevent internet access on the Windows 98 computer since they are different?
