I cant get the computers that run on windows 98SE in our
office to see the plotter that is on my computer that is
running XP, although I have set the plotter to shared.
 
If the Internet Connection Firewall is on you need to open the sharing
ports.

If it is not enabled, verify the share name is less than 12 characters. Can
the Win98 machine see shared files on XP, if not this is a general network
configuration issue.
