Internet connection 'freezes' after installing latest critical upd

I have installed the latest critical upadates on a windows 98 second edition
sytem running explorer 6.0 after which My internet connection keeps freezing
after 3-4 mins.
The connection is still active but small amount of data is beong recieved
(typically 10 - 15 bytes every20 seconds)
IE shows timeed out message.

Using Panda Internet security platinum 7.0 and spybot all show clean sweep
of sytem.
Does anybody have any suggestions to remidy this?
Help will be greatly recieved.

Is this OS even supported any longer? According to the product life-cycle
page on MS:

"Extended hotfix support for Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition ended
on 30-Jun-2003."
