Jack,

First, check for any misconfigured or overlooked personal firewalls.

Next, check for browser problems.

If neither of those help, post "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" for the
Win2K and the XP computers, and "ipconfig /all" for the Win98 computer, and
we'll diagnose the problem.

disabled or properly configured the xp firewall to allow/include the other pcs?
