Guys,

Im trying to set a home wotkgroup a 98 laptop, 98 PC and an NT4.0 PC.
Neither PC can see themselves or other machines in the network neighbourhood.
The laptop can see itself but it cant see other machines.

File sharing is setup OK, Im using Netbui but not sure if its a good idea.
The machines are connected through a switch on 10/100 nics.

What havent I done yet?

WINS probably isn't set up right. Or perhaps you don't have your users
set up to be compatible.

CJT, thanks for the response - How do I setup WINS?

Did you install file and printer sharing on each machine and client for
Microsoft network

Looks like the same or similar problem as I am experiencing, except I can
ping between machines.

Not that helps you at all...but if you get an answer it might help me )
