wierd networking problems
for some reason, when a 98 box is communicating (getting files and such) with my xp box, the NIC just dies, i have to reboot the XP box inorder to get it working again. 98 and XP boxes are all networked together and had worked up until now, they are all hooked up to the net via a router and switch.

Have you replaced the NIC yet to verify it is not going bad?
If its an onboard I would just disable it and add in one just to see.
Only a thought.
I have had a few nics that would RIS ok, but then fail during file transfers after install. Replacing them solved the problem.
