Windows 98 neither IE nor Netscape can access the Internet. I can connect
map drives from machines in my network, but can't access the Internet. What
would cause this? I scaned all of the files for a Virus and don't find any.

How is your pc connected to internet?
Can you ping hosts?

I can Map drives, ping hosts, ping my router. The problem has to do with the
shdoclc.dll file, Adware, and Microsoft's horrendous security.

search for hosts file and verify the contents inside you must find just
localhost
Try to install service pack probably it will provide new version of the
file.
Can you ping beyond router?

The hosts file had 127.0.0.1 set to ie3.proxy.aol.com


I can ping my Cable Modem providers DNS Server on the other side of my
firewall.
Can't bring anything up in the browser. When I try my Linsys Router address,
it does the some thing.

To elimine the internet error try to setup antoher pc just for testing.
Reset your router settings or bypass it.
reinstall ie or netscape (windows).
