Unless Wanadoo give out static IP addresses to dial-up customers (which I highly doubt they would), set Win98 up to have a "server assigned IP address" and "server assigned nameserver addresses" inside TCP/IP Settings.
In the normal dial-up properties, do the following on the corresponding tabs:
General: put the full phone number in the "telephone number" field, leaving the area-code blank, and then remove the tick from "use area code and dialling rules/properties".
Server Types: make sure the drop-down box starts with PPP, then remove ticks from ALL boxes except TCP/IP.
Scripting: shouldn't need a script-file unless Wanadoo specify you need to, make sure "start terminal screen minimized" is ticked.
Multilink: choose "do not use additional devices".

If it's still not working, check the error code against the list on the following page, and follow any suggestions it makes:
