XP network setup/resetup

[Guest]

A small Church network, two XP, one 98 and one wireless XP. Using linksys
router one xp, the 98 and the wireless can all see each other and the
internet. Some how I have screwed up one of the XP machines when trying to
attached it to the network. It can see the internet but cannot see the other
machines. Running the Network Setup it runs for at least 45 minutes and then
I power down the computer. How to I get back, (not using restore) to make the
Network Setup work? Thanks for the help.

have you enable netbios over tcp/ip on the xp? this may help. quoted from
http://www.ChicagoTech.net
NetBIOS and WINS are required in a mixed network
NetBIOS and WINS name resolution is required only on mixed-mode (Windows 95,
98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP) networks to provide backward-compatibility older
versions of Windows. If you have a domain mixed-mode network with DHCP and
DNS, you are better to cerate WINS in your system. In workgroup mixed-mode
network, most people enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP to resolve NetBIOS name to
equivalent to IP addresses. Alternatively, you can install NetBEUI protocol
in the clients.
