Help! Win98SE keeps losing its IP settings

Can anyone out there help me with this one?

I've just installed a new Netgear DG834G Wireless ADSL Router to share my Broadband connection. My new Dell XP laptop has wireless as standard and I bought a Netgear WG511 v2 54Mbps PCMCIA card for my (very) old Toshiba which is running 98SE. I got the Dell connecting to the Internet wirelessly in about 5 minutes, then spent 4 days trying to do the same with the Tosh!

I'm following the WLAN card setup instructions as best I can but must have a setting wrong because I can get it to work perfectly, but every time I restart the PC it loses the Internet connection (not the LAN, that stays up). When I run winipcfg on reboot, the value fields against the Netgear card are empty. If I then press Renew, the values reappear and the Internet connection returns. Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Cheers

Phil B
