Can't find workgroup computer

I am attempting to network my Windows98 computer with a
WindowsXP machine. I am using a 5 port Ethernet hub with
straight thru Cat5 cables. The cards seem to be
communicating on some low level, but I cannot see the
opposite machine in my Network Neighborhood. Any ideas or
starting points? Thanks.

Start by firing up both computers, then walking away for at least 15
minutes. If you can then browse the Network Neighborhood successfully that
means that you have a master browser issue - which is in and of itself
harmless because the network will work fine without being able to browse the
network.
