I am using a router for a network. My machine running
2000 can see my 98 machine, but my 98 machine cannot see
my 2000 machine.
 
Hi,

I am clear my seeing a machine
does it mean that you cannot see the machine in the network neighbourhood
or you cannot access the machine

I would recommend to ping the machine from windows 98 to windows 2000
if ping does not succeeds then check the router settings in the TCP/IP
settings of Windows 98
If ping succeeds then try to access shared resources on the WIndows 2000
machine
If you are able access shared resources its good
however if you get any access denied errors enable guest accounts on the
windows 2000 as windows 98 machines uses guest account for anonymous access
check that IPC$ shares are enable in windows 2000 machine

Are they in the same subnets? Routers dont forward NetBios
broadcasts by default if the networks are in the different
subnets. See if this is the case.
