I have just installed a new Belkin Wireless kit (ADSL modem with router)
My main PC running XP Home SP2 is directly connected via the hub.
I have a laptop running windows 2000 connected via a USB adapter and
another PC running windows 98 using a wired connection via the built in hub.
All can use the internet connection without problem but I cannot get any of
them to see the Home Workgroup.
With my previous network, this was all working fine.
I have tried setting TCP/IP over NetBios (but can't on the 98 machine) and
have checked the the computer browser is running OK. They all have Client
for MS and File and print sharing enabled.
I would much appreciate any advice on what to do next

Regards
Jon

First make sure they are all part of the same Workgroup. Then make sure the
XP machine has the proper settings in the Windows Firewall. You should allow
file & print sharing to allow other machines to connect to it.

Think thats fixed it - Thanks
I don't have windows firewall enabled but I do have norton personal
firewall. I added my networks address range in the networking section of the
config and all is now working - thanks again
