".... we know the connection is good, because we tested it on my working computer!"

Please explain that.

We plugged the RJ45 cable out of the router into the working computer before we plugged it into the computer running 98

But, what's subject of this discussion?  The network card in that Win 98 computer.  Since you have no Internet connection with it when connected to a line you know has a Internet signal, that sure doesn't support your claim that wife's son was able [successfully] to install the startech card on Easter Sunday.

Has ANYONE ever heard of Startech? Especially as opposed to D-Link, Netgear, 3Com, Linksys, etc.?

We established that you needed a different card days ago. What price is your time worth?
