WIN98 / Network problem

I was having problems with a WIN98 pc running very slow and sometimes locking up. I did some file cleanup, defrag, and also ran scanreg /fix. Now I am unable to print to a network printer in some applications (Outlook for one), network neighborhood does not display the other pc's on my network, and I am unable to install a network printer. The other pc's on the network can see this particular pc ok.

I restored the registry and still no luck. I haven't changed anything on this network. Can scanreg /fix screw a pc up this bad? I need help so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Could this be a NIC card going bad on me? I can connect to the internet ok and can print "test pages" to my network printers.

If you are using File and Print Sharing then remove it and then reinstall it.

Right click Net Neighborhood and choose Properties.

If this doesn't work check the protocol you are using and make sure the bindings are still set correctly.
