I'm using the sw which came with Linksys G adapter... not anything which is
part of W98SE. And I set it for WEP. Never was asked about encryption nor
MAC filters, so I don't think those are in place. I have gone back through
the profile for wireless on that laptop via the Linksys sw and can't see
anything "odd", but I'm not a network guru, either. Anything else I can
look at? I use this same adapter with my own laptop, but it runs XP
Home........... so that's different.

Thanks for your help

Win98 doesn't have the built in wireless support that xp has. You must
install third party software from the manufacturer of whichever
network card you are using.

Start off by disabling encryption and mac filtering on the router
until your connection is working properly and then encrypt the
connection using the strongest available to the win98. Sadly, that is
likely to be wep only but will depend on your card manufacturer.

After the wireless is working, the network settings you make on the
computer will be the same as if it is wired.
