Problem to set up networking features in standalone Win98SE-computer

I am trying to connect an until now stand-alone WIN 98SE -PC to my well
running network. In the stand-alone-PC the PCI-ethernet-Card is already
installed, the driver running. Whenever I click the networking icon in
the system control it shows an error like "The networking option has
been disabled by the system administrator in the system control panel"
(translated freely from german). I then installed all features available
in the Software/Windows-Setup Menu, but without result.
The stand-alone PC is connected to the internet via ADSL/TDSL (via the
well running first PCI-networking card). Could this be the problem ? Can
it be resolved?
Thanks for your help !

Hi Dr Leman

Somebody asked me to pop in this group and help you out with your issue.

Your system has a registry restriction enabled that is preventing access to the networking icon - probably the dwords NoNetConnectDisconnect or NoNetworkConnections. Search your registry for either of those words and if you find them, set them to zero.
