Try figuring out what hostname the Win98 client is sending (this will
be the machine name, which I think is in one of the network setup
dialog boxes).   Send that hostname yourself - add the following to
your /etc/dhclient.conf:

        send hostname "my-machine";

Get the capitalization right!   Another thing you should probably do
is set a client identifier based on your network card's MAC address:

        send dhcp-client-identifier 01:00:00:c0:ce:2f:4e;

This will simulate what a Win98 client sends.

It's also eminently possible that the @Home server is configured to
only be willing to talk to the Win98 box, and will ignore anything
that sends different stuff - a different hostname, different client
identifier, or different ethernet address.   If what I've suggested
doesn't help you, you should probably contact the @Home provider and
ask them what they're doing on their end.
