On my home network, I have two machines running Win 98SE
and a Laptop running Win XP. My home network has a cable
modem running thru a hub. My two Win 98SE systems see and
share files with each other w/o a problem. My Win XP
machine , however, doesn't see the other two, nor do they
see the XP laptop. All three machines are using the
internet thru the hub w/o any difficulty. I have shared
files on all machines and have a printer set up on one of
the two Win 98SE machines for network printing. All three
machines have the same workgroup name and have TCP/IP
running.

What have I not done so all the 98SE machines and XP
laptop can see/share files?

Thanks in advance...

Spectrum,

please have a look at http://www.michna.com/kb/WxCable.htm. I'm
not sure how exactly you connect to the Internet, because a
cable modem and a hub will normally not do.

The problem I have is my win 98SE computers can not see my
Win xp computer laptop...

I mis-spoke when I said my internet connection is being
run thru a hub, it is running thru a router, and all three
computers have access to the internet w/o a problem. The
Win 98SE computers can not see the Win XP...

Got any ideas why?

Thanx in advance...
