Workgroup computers not seeing each other

C

Chris

I have two XP Pro desktop's and two Win 98SE desktops.
The master computer is turned on and logged into Windows,
then the slave computer is booted up. When the slave
computer loads into Windows the two XP machines do not
see each other. After they sit for 2 - 5 minutes they
start comunicating again. I have selected "Enable
Netbios over TCP/IP" and restarted the computer browser
service. That doesn't seem to correct the problem.
Yesterday the two XP machines stopped comunicating all
together. No changes were made to the machines at all to
cause them to stop seeing each other. The two Win 98
machines don't comunicate at all. There are link lights
on both the NIC's and Linksys switch. Any help would be
great.

Thanks,
Chris

on the XP computers, what do you get when you go to a
conmmand prompt and type NET VIEW ? Do you see the list
of other machines in the workgroup?
