I am running XP Professional on one mackine and Win 98 on
another.

I am also using a 4 port Lynxis router and a cable modem.

I was able to set up the network and access the Internet
on both machine previously.

I am now having problems accessing either computers.

I can ping the router from both machine
I can ping the XP machine from the win 98 machine
The win 98 machine show up in the 98 computer in network
neighborhood
I cannot pin the 98 machine from the XP machine.
Nothing shows up in the network place of the xp machine

The work group is the same on both machines

I copied the network files to connect to the XP machine
on the 98 machine.

I was able to set up the network several times before and
I am doing the same thing again but cannot figure out the
problem.

Thanks for any help
