Networking problems...

Here's the problem. I took my computer over to a friends house to help him reformat his hard drive. The plan was to back his stuff up, format the drive, install 98, then install his XP Pro Upgrade. Got to the Win98 part and needed something off of my computer to get XP to install. The network worked for about 5 minutes then died. I've tried reinstalling network drivers, re installing 98 to no avail. The network still wont work! Can anyone help?
 
You don't need to install win 98 with XP upgrade. Just put the win98 disk in when it asks for a previous version of windows.
Do a clean install of xp and download the service pack 1 and all the updates and then try your networking.

that's an old great trick...started with win95 when you could pop in an a disk of windows 3.1/3.11 f/WG. Try physically switching positions of the card in your box.
