One computer out of 4 isn't visable.

[Celtic Warrior]

I have a peer network behind a router that has four computers connected. 2
XP Home, 1 ME, 1 98. All of them are visible from all except one XP machine
cant see the other. The only thing I see is that the offending Machine
doesn't have NetBui installed. When I go to add the protocol, it isn't on
the list of available protocols. Realtek 8139/810 adapter. I have created a
network setup disk and run it on all four machines and have shared items on
each machine.

Any ideas.

If you have a real (OEM or Retail) XP CD, then NetBEUI is on that CD.
Make sure you follow the directions (in a .TXT file) exactly, or it
will appear to be installed but it won't work.

Most XP recovery CDs that hardware vendors supply with new PCs do
not include NetBEUI (or the backup app); if you were shortchanged,
you can find the files on the 'net -- try Google.

M$ has decided that NetBEUI is obsolete and does not support it
under XP. But, it does work.

It is the machine that has the Retail CD installed upon it that is giving me
fits. The HP with the recovery discs has the NETBEUI and the protocol is
installed. The XP HOME Upgrade CD was used to upgrade this troubled computer
and it can't find this protocol. I've dug around the CD but can't seem to
come up with it.

More importantly, will this fix it or am I barking up the wrong tree?
