Hi all, thanks for the replies. My responses follow. Just to update you,
I followed all the directions on the Linksys site about resetting the
router. Sorry this is so long but I wanted to include my Router Settings.

Answers to your questions...
Are you sure that the router didn't get damaged in the storm?
Yes, I am certain that the router was not damaged. All machines
and router were completely detached from power, modem, cable, etc
during the storm.
Have you tried other physical ports on it?
I cannot try other ports. The Win98 machine is connected by cable.
The 2 Win2000 machines are wireless uplinks.
When you say the 2000 machines cannot set it, do you mean when you ping
by LAN IP, there is no reply?
The router is simply set up to be a gateway to the Net, although I
was able to see the other machines in the workgroup previous to the
outage. Now, there is no replay from LAN IP from the Win2K machines.
Does your router have the option to discard ping request,
Yes, but only WAN ping can be blocked.
The Win98 machines can see the router? Swap cables?
Cannot do. Win2k machines are in another room, not linked by
cable.

Can your wireless win2000 machines ping each other?
No. They are both wireless and cannot see each other unless the
router is communicating with them.
If so, then I would look at reconfiguring the wifi card software, make sure
the WEP is the same, and try again.
Did this several times. No changes.
=========
Is the win98 machine working ok?
Yes, the Win98 machine is working fine.
