Shared Printing and Netwroking in Win98 and Win XP

I have following problem on printer sharing on Win98.

First machine with Win98:
1) I have printer HP LaserJet III, attached to a machine having Win98.
2) I have enabled "Printer and File Sharing" on Win98 machine.
3) Win98 machine is connected to LAN hub for internet connection.
4) When I ping WinXP machine, from Win98 machine, it times out and ping is
not successful.

Second machine:
5) I have another machine Fujitsu Laptop having WIn Xp on it.
6) I have enabled "Netbios on TCP/IP" on this machine.
7) WinXP machine is connected to same LAN hub for internet connection
8) I can ping Win98 machine from my this WinXP machine .
9) I tried to add Network printer, and let browse option to find the Network
printer, but it cant find the printer connected to win98.

Now since I cant add the netwrok printer on winXP machine, I am lost what
could be the problem, since also my ping of WinXP machine from Win98 machine
is not successful.

Any help and advise will be highly appreciated.

Thankyou so much for reading and suggesting the solution

Please reply to this message in the news group (not by E-mail) with
more information to help other people understand the problem.

Does your network have a LAN hub or a broadband router? Those are
different devices, and the network setup is different for them.
What's the make and model of your device? What type of Internet
connection do you have, and what type of port does it plug into on
that device?

Do your computers have private or public IP addresses? The private
address ranges are:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

HI

We access Corporate Netwrk and then use Lan HUb to share net connection
among other computers. We have broadband internet connection.

Yes IP address comes in the range you have mentioned.

Hope the info may help to find out the prob.

Waiting for advice.

Thanks for the information. I suspect that a firewall on the XP
machine is causing the problem. Since you access a corporate network,
I recommend consulting with the administrators of that network for
help.
