I have a Peer to Peer network with 4 win98 PC's and 2 XP
machines. 1 windows 98 PC can see the whole network.
3 win98 machines can't see the WinXP machines, but can
see everything else.. In addition the Win XP machines
can't see 3 of the Win 98 PC's.

They are set up to obtain IP automatically using TCP/IP,
are in the same workgroup and I am able to ping all nodes
from each other. NetBios is automatically enabled Any
ideas what may be going on.
Thanks,
Luke

Explicitly enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on all computers -- automatic or
default settings don't always work. Details here:
