What OS are the other computers using? (You don't need the wizard for

Is File and printer sharing turned on?
Have you used the "Add network place" wizard?
Create a share other than C:.
It's hokey, but sometimes the search feature will find the other shares
when they don't appear in Network Places.

Two of the other three comps run Win98se and the third runs Win98. I did run
the network wizard and ran the floppy on all three comps. File/Printer
sharing is turned on. The C: drive on all comps is full access share. I took your
advice and shared My Doc on WinXP C: drive and a folder inside the other
three C: drives.
The three comps are now seeing all comps, but only able to explore/share
files among themselves. The WinXP comp sees the other three but won't allow me to
"open" or "explore" the other three. The error message says I don't have
rights and no network path found. I'm logged in as admin. Any other suggestions?
TIA
