Default Can't connect to the interent after reinstalling Windows

We have a small three computer network. My son was having big problems
with his computer so I reinstalled Windows 98se on his computer.
Everything went fine....except that he can't connect to the Internet. I
checked all of his settings and all of his hardware and everything seems
to be configured right. I can't find any errors. He just can't connect.
However, he can see the other computers on the network and they can see
him...and share files. Any ideas?

What firewall are you using on the 98SE machine?

I am using a Linksys 4 port router and just it's built in firewall. I
checked that already and everything seems to be in order. I can also
ping the internet and the router successfully from his computer.

When I reloaded 98SE, the Firewall had to be reset to accept Windows etc.
Basically there was a "disconnect" between the new windows installation and
the firewall. The firewall showed all the correct settings but the "new"
installation required them to be "installed" again. I think the ping command
uses DOS, so try resetting/upgrading the router to accept the Windows 98
software again.
