Hi,  you shouldn't need IPX, only if you have a Novell server on your
network.  If you install the Client for Novell Networks then IPX would get
added.  Same with ATM, we have that at work and it is a different standard
from Ethernet.  You probably need to install the Netbeui protocol to for all
your computers to appear in Network Neighborhood.  Also to see a computer,
you need to have a folder 'shared out'.  I just hooked up my new pc which
has Me on it.  I have a similar scenario as you with 3 other computers
connected via a hub.  I couldn't see the new computer in Network
Neighborhood from the other computers until I installed Netbeui on the Me
computer.  I could however do a 'find computer' and put the computer name in
and then could see them.

Funny thing is now I can see the new computer in Network Neighborhood but I
can't see the other from the Me computer unless I do a 'find computer'.  If
anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanks,
Dan Kucherich
