[samoon]

I've 2 computers on XP Home and 1 on 98SE all linked wirelessly to the dsl
router.The 2 xp read each other but I can't acess the 98se. The 98se can
access both the XPs.I've enabled the hard disk and files on the 98se but the
XPs can't seem to find the 98se on the network.Please HELP.Thank you.

1. Make sure that File and Printer Sharing is enabled on 98se.

2. Disable and un-install all firewall programs while troubleshooting.

3. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

4. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:
