Can't find certain computers on my network.

[Guest]

I have several types of Windows machines on my network. The network was set
up in the early 90's with NetBEUI. I've added a number of machines, but none
within the last 2 months. One machine (XP-Pro) had to be re-built. Now
three other machines (2 XP-Pro, 1 Win2000) cant't see this machine. Several
98 and XP Home machines can see it, though. I've got TCP/IP and NetBEUI both
on all machines. I tried the thing about "NetBEUI over TCP/IP", as well as
the "Computer Browser" issue, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Chris,

you are confusing NetBEUI (a transport protocol) with NetBIOS (a
programming interface).

You can use http://www.michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm to solve this
problem.
