Max,
Just some thoughts....
1. Make sure none of the machines are running firewalls. That blocks the "shares" and machines won't be "seen".
2. Make sure that all machines have "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" enabled in the "Control Panel/Network Connections" icon ("Network" icon in Win98), and after clicking on the "File and Printer Sharing" in the Win98's, that there is a CHECK mark in the "I want to give others access to my files".
3. Make sure that the Win98 machines have no "passwords" set for the shared drives and folders.
Hope this helps.

Hi Folks,
We have 6 Win 2000 Pro machines, and a few Win 98
machines. On the 98 machines in network neighborhood
we can see the 2000 machines and access the shared folders. But in network neighborhood on the 2000 machines there is nothing there, no 2000 machines or 98 machines. All we have is a basic peer to peer network
with all the machines connected through a hub.
So why do the 2000 machines not see each other,
but the 98's see the 2000's. One more thing the 2000 machines can all see 4 computers on the network
two 98's, a 2000 pro, and a server 2000 box.
But not the other 10 machines on the network.
We are ready to buy a server as we have out grown this set up, but that is a few months away and I need this machines
to communicate with each other now. So can someone please help me or steer me to a place that can help.
Thanks
Max
