I have two other Win98 machines and a 10/100 hub all connected together with
CAT5 cable. I know the the connections are good because this box was running
Win98 prior to converting it to Linux and I had no problems with networking
under Windows. Some have suggested that I try to compile and use the latest
tulip driver v0.91g. Does anyone know what driver version comes on the
Mandrake 6.0 CD? How do I check the version?

What is your ethernet connected to? It sounds like the
error I get when my machine isn't connected to something at
boot-up.
