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
