I have 3 computers hooked to a hub. 2 are xp's and 1 is windows 98se. One XP and the win 98 can see and talk but my XP can not see ot talk. They can see me but unable to share my folders. I have all drives shared. Any help would be help full.
 
Disable XP's firewall. It is only for direct connections to the Internet. If
you installed a third party firewall, make sure it isn't blocking access
between the machines. Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enable on all computers.

Is XP Home or Pro?

Any firewalls on your computer? Disable ICF, un install any third
party firewall carefully, following all procedure provided by the
manufacturer.
