One way networking

I have 3 computers connected via a router using. On the
one computer with W98 on it I can not see the network at
all. However, on the other 2 computers I can see and
access this 3rd one where I don't see anything. Is there a
network configuration setting to correct this?

more information to help other people understand the problem.

How are you trying to see the network on that W98 computer? What
exactly happens when you do it? If there's an error message, what
does it say?

I amacessing the network on the W98 machine thru the
network neighborhood and then slecting "Entire Network"
(which is the only icon available). I get the error
message saying: "Unable to browse the network. The
network is not accessible." However, I can see and can
have full access to this W98 drives from the XP machines.

Let me know if you can shed some light on this.

Thanks for those details -- knowing what the error message says is a
big help.

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:

Steve,
Tnx for the very helpful tip. It looks like that was the
problem.
