Let me add this for clarity.

To troubleshoot we connected a Windows 2000 Pro laptop to the router and
DHCP gave it an IP address within the subnet.

Result: no problem at all connecting to the Windows 2000 Pro machine on the
LAN. But the Win98 machines could not ping or connect to this new Windows
2000 Pro laptop either. The same problems of connectivity came up as with
the Windows 2000 Pro machine on the LAN.

So this looks like a Win98 issue and not a TCP/IP issue directly or a
Windows 2000 Pro issue.. Maybe there's a KB article on this somewhere.

BTW, all machines on the LAN have all critical updates.
