Do a search for the file Netcpl.cpl (it should be in c:\windows\system).
Double clicking this file should open the Network applet. If it doesn't then try replacing it from your W98 CD. You just type sfc in the Run box and then use the "extract one file" feature.
Note, that sfc is fine to replace this file as it is never updated. Just in case you are tempted to use sfc for some other file in future, please see this old link (my collation and WhitPhil's additions): SFC CAN GET IT WRONG
