Networking WIN 98 & XP in a peer to peer

[John]

My windows 98 peer to peer network can't "see" the
windows xp computers that were just upgraded from '98.
What settings do I have to change? (Am currently using
Netbuie protocol)

I also have to import e-mail (Outlook) from a Win '98
computer to an XP computer.

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Make sure the network workgroup names are the same on both machines, might
turn off xp's fire wall till you get the problem worked out.

NetBEUI is an un-supported protocol in Windows XP, and the upgrade
process un-installs it. If the network uses NetBEUI for file sharing,
you'll have to re-install that protocol it on the XP computers:
