XP/98 Network Browsing

T

Tim

Ever Since upgrading one machine to XP Pro, I can't see my
Win98 machines from my XP machine (and vice versa)when
browsing the network neighborhood. File sharing, TCP/IP
are turned on, ping works fine, I just can't browse to
them. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm assuming that you don't have a DNS server on the
network. In which case try creating both a hosts file
and a lmhosts file on both machines, pointing their
corresponding names to their corresponding IP addresses.
This worked for me @ a client site using a similar
configuration as you are.
Good luck.
