My Network Places but can not see computer #3.PC# 1 is
running XP PRO and PC #2 is running 98 SE. Now pc #3 is
running a multy boot setup.It has Xp PRO,@000 POR, and 98
SE.I usto be able to see PC 3# from pc's #1 and #2 but not

i can see it from the 2 other pc's and i can even see the
3 partitions of PC 3# and also i have no problums getting
into all 3 partitons.But when PC 3# is booted up into
eather XP or 2000 i cant see them in My Network Places but
i can ping them no problum.

So any and all help that anyone here can give me would be

have you got any firewalls anywhere that could be
interfering? also does the multiboot machine have the
same user accounts/passwords in both 98 and XP (i.e.have
you got access permissions in both O/S's that match the
computer you are connecting from)

It's always worth turning off all firewalls whilst
troubleshooting a network problem(including XP's built in
one). Make sure that all computers share the same
workgroup name (no matter which OS you boot into). try
creating an identical user account on every pc/OS (same
username and password)to avoid any permission issues. Try
connecting to the other pc from the "run" command
(\\computername\sharename)

Thx for the reply adrian916.
If i use the run command i can get into the PC no problum
at all ,i can even get into all 3 partitions.
I understand the reson you want me to shut off the
firewalls, but i cant see that being the problum.I dont
run the XP internal firewall only the 1 in my router.As
for the user names and PW's that never gave ma a problum
befor as well and yes thay are all in the same work group
all 3 pc's and all 3 partitions on the pc with multy OS's.
At least i can get into it now but i still would like tyo
get in from My Network Places.
Hope to here from you soon
thx again
