I have 4 computers on a home LAN which connect to the
internet via a Netgear wireless router. 2 of the
computers are Win 2000, 1 is Win XP and the oldest one is
Win 98.
Whats wierd is that I can see the Win 98 computer system
from the other computers, BUT it can't see any of the
computers. In fact it gets an error saying that there's
no network access, but there is and it easily connects to
the internet.

I want to set up a shared printer thats why I need to see
the other computers.
Can someone help me, thanks !!!

I had exactly the same problem - then I tried changing the protocol on the
win98 system to IPX/SPX and activated NETBIOS, obviously IPX/SPX needs to
be active on the other systems. Four days of tearing my hair out after I had
been told only to use TCP/IC solved with one tick box.
