Windows 98 and XP Network

[Sheyna]

I have several 98 computers, one ME and one XP co
nnecting through a wireless LAN. The XP computer can see
the 98 and ME computers. However, the 98 computers can
not see anyother computers on the network. I am trying
to share the printer connected to the XP computer.
What's the best way to 1) see the XP computer on the 98
computers and 2) print from the XP computer?

I am having a similar problem. I am networking 3
systems, Windows XP Pro, Windows ME, and a Mac with OSX.
They are all running into an ethernet hub. The XP system
can ping the other two. The ME and the Mac can ping
eachother. But the ME and the Mac cannot ping the XP.
This seems quite odd, but computer processes usually
are. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly
appreciate it.
