I have an XP Pro as the main pc with ICS. The rest of the
network pc's are Win98se. I can get all of the PC's to
connect to the internet, but the networked pc's cannot
see my pc on the network and even I cannot see the shares
on the XP when I go into my network places on the xp. I
have redone the network setup wizard on the XP & w98
pc's. I have even changed the workgroup name & XP
computer name, but nothing changes. The rest of the
network can see each other, but not the XP. I did have a
personal firewall setup on the XP but even when that is
removed, no changes.

Help......:(
 
Bob,
Check to see what protocols you have installed on each PC.
If it's not there, install IPX/SPX on all systems then on
the 98 machine enable Netbios under the IPX/SPX
properties. I have found this will get 98 talking to XP
fine. Hope it helps.
