Error message:Unable to access the entire network

1 of my two computers is using win xp and wireless card,
and the other is win98SE and Ethernet card to a router.
Everything is fine except that I cant see XP from win98se.
When I tried to browse the "entire network", it appears
error message: "Unable to access the entire network. Check
administrator or the help index.." I tried everything
including shut down the firewall in XP, same workgroup
name. Printer which is connected to win98se can be shared
and the win98se files... the only problem is this win98se
can't see others and even itself. How can i fix this
problem?

Thanks in advance.

Scott.

A common reason for inability to browse the network is that the user
isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt when Windows 98 starts? If
so, don't cancel it. Complete the logon by entering a user name and,
optionally, a password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log
Off and log back on. If that makes network browsing work properly,
the most likely fix is to go to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net

and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:
