Try running Winipcfg and clicking release all, then renew all on each machine. Did you install file and printer sharing on each machine? Did you install a protocol like Netbeui so they can talk to each other, and bind it to file and printer sharing?
>I've set up a two PC network using a hub, both machines are running Win98. The problem I'm having is that when I launch network neighborhood, the only icons that are displayed are the Entire Network icon, and the host computer's icon. If I further click on Entire Network, no additional icon are displayed within Entire Network. How can I get Network Neighborhood to display an icon for the other computer on the network?

>FYI, I can ping one computer from the other. Furthermore, if I go to Start>Find>Computer>Name, and enter the name of the other computer, it returns a message "computer not found", however if I enter the IP address of the other computer, it returns a linked icon to the other computer, which I can launch, and which displays those folders and printers that I've set up to
> share. In fact, I can print from the remote computer.

>One last piece of info, when I launch winipconf, the IP addess and subnet mask aren't present. However, they are present under the properies box, in the TCP/IP<Network<Control Panel option. (I manually entered both the IP and subnet under "Specify an IP address").
