I had the same problem when I upgraded an XP home server to XP Pro yesterday. The client computers are using Win98.

go to Start, then Run. in the box, type "cmd" (without quotes).
This will get you to a DOS prompt. Then type "ipconfig" to find your ip address. "ipconfig /release" will release it and to get a new one, type "ipconfig /renew"
You can also use this option to run the commands in the Run box:
      cmd /k ipconfig
      cmd /k ipconfig /release
      cmd /k ipconfig /renew
The /k links the command to cmd, so you can use the drop down box instead of typing it all again, later.

Good Luck!
