Help - win98 internet trouble!!

I just changed motherboard,CPU,cabinet on my comp leaving the cards and harddisks the same. After instaslling the drivers for all hardware, windows was running ok, everything functioning, but I cant browse the net.

I have internet access thru a LAN card and also thru dialup on an internal modem. The Lan card shows me the other users on network neighbourhood but when I try to browse the net I get a 'would you like to connect message'. Earlier I just had to open my browser and it would start browsing using the internet on lan. There was no configuration involved as I had done a fresh win install recently and it had functioned without problems.

WHen I dial up using my modem it connect s to the ISP and the connected icon appears on the system tray, but I still cant browse any site, it keeps trying to 'find the site'. I've tested Netscape, Opera, telnet, ftp, outlook express, nothing works . IE5.5 sometimes crashes when I'm trying to browse.

I did a reinstall of windows over trhe old one and the problem persists. I tried deleting and reinstalling IE5.5, same problem persists. I have checked for TCPIP protocol installed on my system and its there.

Any idea what might be the problem? I'm really desparate here, typing from another comp. I need internet fast as I'm losing money eevryday. Any help really appreciated!
