Subject: [PCBUILD] XP and WIN98 network problem

I just set up a two computer network  MY VAIO has XP and there other
computer has WIN98

The VAIO sees the WIN98....computer..but the WIN98 computer does not see
the VAIO....

I did use the disk that the VAIO makes as a network disk, but it does not
help..


ALSO..,,

It seems that when I click on the NETWORK Neighborhood of the WIN98
machine, it searches forever for the GLOBE showing the network
connections and only when I shut down the VAIO does the WIN 98 computer
ICON show up in the 'neighborhood' of its own machine!

What could I be doing wrong?

BOTH IP addresses are the same except the last digit,

Thanks!

Al
