NetBT? Purging? Reloading? WHAT?!

This is a further step in trying to get my computers to see each other. I
tried the REPAIR function on laptop (XP) and i get this message...
Failed:....."purging and reloading the remote cache name table of NetBT."
AND
"sending Name Release packets to WINS and then starting Refresh"

......????? what the hell does THAT mean??

Windows XP questions should be asked in a Windows XP newsgroup. Windows 98
does not support either of the troubleshooting steps you're trying so we
can't give you any sensible advice here.
