win 98 computer can't see xp computers on network

Hi,

I have three computers - 1 XP Pro, 1 XP Home, 1 Win 98.
I've used XP's network wizard to setup the Pro then used
the disk it created to setup the others. Pro and Home can
see each other and 98 can see itself, but the two XPs
can't see the 98 and the 98 can't see the XPs.

I gone to the knowledge base and stepped through the
instructions for setting up a 98 network. All to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Duane

1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
