well then i do believe i've narrowed it down some...

when i specified the first three sets of numbers in the ip address to be the
same correctly this happened (i incorrectly set that and was unable to get
e-mail for a bit):

when i try to ping with Win98 it times out...

when i try to ping with Linux it says network is unavailable

and once i finally got "ifconfig" to report the appropriate information i
realized that somehow it's not realizing that there's an eth0 there... :)
so... how to get that working... i know that it should use the tulip module
(it's a beautiful Linksys card... but how to get it to load the module i do
not know...

btw for ip address i'm using 192.168.90.x i forget how i came up with that
ip address, but that's what i'm using...
