Specs.

2 wndows 2000 pro comps .. one is a server an one is my main comp.
There comp is a 98 box.

All have cable internet connection ( via Router to a switch where everthing
is pluged in to.)
all computers have an assigneed ip from the router. ( 192.168.0.100 -
192.168.0.102)


He's my problem... the 2000 computers can see each other just fne. The 98
computer like on the same workgroup, but i can not see shares on the 2000. I
can see then, but they are can not see what work group they are on ( i can
supply shreen shot if u like)

Any thoughts on what is going on?

It's just a feeling I get sometimes
A feeling sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you I get frightened too
But it's No time for heartache
No time to run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry

Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that all useraccounts
exist on all computers. Got File- and printersharing loaded?

On the W98 box, check the network configuration to see if the workgroup-name
really is exactly the same (mind the caps) as the name on those W2K's.
