Thanks Kerernn.
  I was able to do steps 1,2, and 3 you suggested.
  Could not make 4 work but "ifcfg eth0 add 192.168.1.9" did the trick in
bringing iup eth0.
192.168.1.9 is the adress router was supposed to give to this linuz machine
(and 192.168.1.8 to win98 machine).

I still could not surf the net but had to some tweeking (Thizlinux settings
from the GUI, LAN Browsing preferences as well as Thinzlinux config) and was
finally able to reach internet.

Then I boothed to see if I could repeat the process.  ( I got some error
during shutdown, which I did not record).

When booted I could NOT get back to the internet.   eth0 was up and running
but I cannot accees internet (http addresses) and I cannot even ping to the
other (windows) machine anymore. But I can ping the router as well as
linuxmachine itself. And these are the only 2 ip adresses I can ping to.

Also  /etc/dhcpcd/hdcpcd-eth0.info file seems to imply that linux got the
domain name DNS names etc OK,  How else do I check DNS name issues.

I am lost.
I will try again later. If you (and others) have a suggestion please let me
know.

Thanks again.
