Problems browsing network with XP Home and 98SE

J

Joe

I ran the network setup wizard on both PC's. I am able to
see file shares from one PC to another, however, I cannot
browse the network neighboorhood on the win 98 pc. Also
cannot add network printer or see any network printers.
Both PC's plug into Linksys router, configured properly,
DHCP 192.168.1.x. Printer is parallel connected to the XP
PC

It is because they are in different neighbourhoods... XP = MSHOME Win98 =
Workgroup.. Try changing the Win98 machines to marry with the XP machine
i.e. change from Workgroup to MSHOME.. Bingo.....
