My Network Places

After loading XP Pro, I checked to see if the other -2- computers that
are on my home network were found. Well, they were but I have
a question as to how they show up under "My Network Places"

One computer is assigned to the "Local Network" section and the other
is assigned to "The Internet" section . All computers have the same
workgroup name. Each computer can PING the other computers. The
computers are hooked up as follows:

#1 Win98SE
#2 Win98
#3 WinXP Pro

Router: WAN port to cable modem
(4 port) LAN port to #1
UpLink port to 10/100 Switch

10/100 Switch: #2 & #3
(5 port)

Have tried switching the cables from each of the computers to different
ports either on the router or the switch. No change.

Is there a logical explanation as to why they don't all show up under the
"Local Network" heading ???

thanks
ray

under "common tasks" there will be a "view workgroup
computers" link, click it and that will take you to where
you are wanting to go.
