I thought that the v4 site directed you to the v6 site for the past few
years (didn't it?).
This non-functionality seemed to have started no later than late August
and possibly the beginning of August.
You can tidy things up by setting the "NoWindowsUpdate" registry setting
to "0":
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
This will remove the Windows Update entry from Start Menu -> Settings
and from the IE Tools menu.

Software updates can be downloaded from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/search.aspx?q=Windows%2098
If you tried that you fool, you'd see that it loops between 2 URL's.
Plenty of sources available on the net to download all win-98 updates
for a fresh install.
If you have a working machine that has already been to the windowsupdate
site in the past, then you're not going to be affected by this.
