Hi heres what I suggest you do
Note when entering the IP address you should enter the dot ('.') between the numbers but its is ignored unless the number is less than 3 digits, in which case WIndows will advance to the next 'text' field on the screen. (you'll see what I mean when you do it).
1. Enter the address of
192.168.1.1 for your 'PC's IP address.
2. Enter
255.255.255.0 as the Network Mask
3. Enter
192.168.1.1 as the Default Gateway.
Click 'Ok' to save the settings, if you get a warning message about "one or more adapters having empty Wins addresses", ignore it (click Ok) and continue.
As this is Windows 98 you will be forced to reboot once you exit the Network settings screen - reboot your system and log back into your Windows 98 box.
Now, start Emplode, like you normally would and connect to your player as normal via USB.
ISelect the Configure Player menu option once connected to your Empeg and under the Ethernet Address fields ensure the 'Use DHCP' button is not set (the next 3 boxes will be grayed out until you click on the option other than 'Use DHCP', then enter into the boxes as follows:
'192.168.1.2' as the Empegs IP address,
enter '255.255.255.0' as the network mask
enter '192.168.1.1' as the Gateway (if it asks).
Then save/ok this information and resync with the player.
Once it has done this you should be able to go to the Command Prompt in Windows [on Accessories menu],and type in
ping 192.168.1.2
this should respond with a message like:

If you get the Request Timed Out messages then either your network is not plugged in properly [check on the back of the Empeg, there is a little light marked Link between the USB connector and the Ethernet connector, which is lit up with a Blue light if the Empeg is connected via Ethernet or USB and not lit if neither is connected, so if you unplug the USB cable the light should be on if the Ethernet cable is plugged in].
If this is the case, then check that a
ping 192.168.1.1 gives the correct reponse (as per the first result above), if this fails then your Windows Networking is not working properly.
If all the above is fine, then within Emplode, select the Options Menu and then uncheck the USB option and check the 'Ethernet Broadcast' options, then save the settings and then reconnect to the player - this time it should find your empeg on "IP 192.168.1.2" - slect it/connect to it and away you go.
I suggest you do not uncheck the serial port option as you will need this in the short term at least to upgrade your Empeg software (software upgrades are serial only at the moment).
However, if the player is not connected by other than Ethernet it should work fine for normal uploading purposes.
