Logging onto Network

Okay I have messed around with this all of yesterday and today and cant get it. Im running Windows 98, connected to a LAN and have a network adapter installed and running. However when I turn on my computer and 98 starts it does not prompt me for any passwords, just takes me to Windows 98 and i cannot access the network. However when i click logoff then it takes me to the Windows Networking password, i am prompted for a password, and i log on and can access the network. Why the hell am i not logging on to the network when i boot my computer the first time? why is it bypassing prompting me for a networking password? i really dont want to have to log on, log off, then log back on the access the network. i have tried alot of fixes, but none seem to work. anybody got some new ideas?

Start-Run-SFC and see if there are any corrupt system files.  Also check Windows Update to see if there are any system updates.  You also may want to try a regclean.  Make sure your registry is backed up before playing with it, though.
