Sounds to me like Me hits again!!
I had this problem. Here is what i found.
For some reason, the machine was loading an emulated driver for the network card. I removed the card, both physically and in the software, removed dial up networking, and cleaned the registry. Then i reinstalled the networking and made sure that the card was installed with the proper drivers. As for the IP address ending in .0, this sounds like maybe its not gettting an IP, but instead it is using the default windows IP address.
Another thing you may want to try, is in the properties on the network, check the tcp/ip protocol for the card and make sure that the "detect connection to network media" is not checked. I have found that this setting in Me causes a lot of grief on an ethernet connection.
Hope this helps some. Good luck!

But then again is there anything else? :(
I have a situation that is similar to others that folks have experienced
with Windows ME and networking.
We have a student who is using Windows ME on a Sony Vaio laptop. He is
using a 3com pc ethernet card (3c575-tx).
He can obtain an ip address via dhcp.
He cannot reach certain web sites but can reach others with no problem. The
web site he currently can't reach is www.time.gov which works just peachy
for me.
Odd things about this are:
1. His ip address ends in .0
2. winipcfg lists an adapter that doesn't seem to be the 3com one. It lists
an FE575
3. It takes a long time for him to get an address via dhcp when I release
all/renew all. One time it didn't get and address at all.
I have deleted the winsock2 key from the registry and deleted everything
from the network control panel and the problem still exists. I also removed
DUN and reinstalled it.
Any clues or suggestions?
I think that the problem is the ip address and I've spoken with our
networking folks about pulling that address from the pool.
Thanks!
Caroline
