After running an XP network setup disk on a windows 98
machine, I can't see other windows 98 machines on the
network and can no longer access resources on the other 98
and NT machines on the network.Help!

Here's what XP's network setup disk does. You can manually un-do any
of these settings that aren't right for your network:

1. Set the computer name, computer description, and workgroup name
that you specify.
2. Install these network components if they're not already present:
a. Client for Microsoft Networks
b. TCP/IP
c. File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
3. Share any printers connected to the computer.
4. Create the "Shared Documents" folder if it doesn't exist.
5. Share the "Shared Documents" folder.
6.Configure the local area network connection to obtain an IP
address automatically.

Compare the problem computer's settings to the settings on a computer
that's working.

Make sure that all computers are using the same, single protocol for
file and printer sharing. If that protocol is TCP/IP, make sure that
all computers have IP addresses in the same subnet.

I am having the same problem. Just posted a post. If I
find an answer, I'll post something.

I have Zone Alarm Pro and a linksys router.
