I'm on a wireless lan connection. We have four pc's in our
workgroup. Three of them have win98 and can see each other
just fine. Mine has xp on it and cannot see any of the
others in the network. My internet connection works just
fine. My high speed provider cannot give me the proper
support to solve this .Any advice?

Thanks

Win9x can't see Win2000/XP

By default, Win2000/XP disables NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) for selected
clients. In a peer-to-peer network without WINS, Win9x will be unable to
browse, locate, or create file and print share connections to a Windows 2000
computer with NetBIOS disabled. So, you must setup the Win2000/XP to uses
NetBIOS over TCP/IP to communicate with prior versions of Windows NT and
other clients, such as Microsoft Windows 95. Alternatively, you may want to
add NetBEUI on all workstations in the peer-to-peer network.
