How are you trying to connect
Trying to connect via Remote Desktop from Win98 or Linux to the XP machine. On XP machine Remote Desktop is enabled
Actually from within Remote Desktop utility of the Win98 the network group is visible but not separate machine. Even trying to connect using exact IP address (without browsing the network) doesn't lead to success
Rights can be an issue
The users, who trying to connect have administrative rights on XP machin
Is the office segmented
No, office is not segmented. It's small office now with 3 PC's connected via Ethernet switch. One of those is Win XP Pro

Right. I've seen that EXACTLY (and currently have the same problem,
the workgroup designated is displayed, but no individual machines)
I have read that lowering the MTU from 1500 to a lower 14xx size
can help (I have not tried that yet)...

Can you add the ip and name to a "HOST" file and see if it makes a
difference? Enable the LMhosts lookup after... ??
I've gotten my machines to VPN or Remote Desktop, but not RD thru
the VPN (Like I want)... I get the same 'congealed' Workgroup name
as present but with no individual machines. Can you VPN only?
The VPN client is avail. for Win98 at MS (I believe it is)...
