PC4(winXP) ---PC5(win98)

Trying to setup a home network. Used to have all PCs with Win98.
Network was working. Then, added Laptop(PC4) and PC2(win2k). Network no
longer works.

Tried to setup network using WinXP's "wizard". Then used the "network
setup disk" to run it the executable on all other PCs (except the one
with Win2k), and network STILL does not work.

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?
 
"Doesn't work" is a very broad description. Is it a wireless network or
is it cable? Is there any error messages? Have you used the same name
such as WORKGROUP as your network?

Let us have more info for us to help you.
