    I’ve got a 3-node peer-to-peer network (with a router) in my home/office. 2 are Win98SE, 1 is Win95. Temporarily, I had to add a 4th machine, which is WinME. The WinME machine can’t see 1 of the Win98SE machines, and vice versa. But they can both see the other machines (which can also see them). Everything seems to be correct: workgroup name, unique machine names, and different IP addresses.

    Anyone have a clue as to why these 2 machines can’t see each other? It’s driving me nuts.

        Thanks. I was finally able to get the new computer networked so it could see my desktop, and I was able to select the network printer. Unfortunately, every time I try to actually print to it I get an “Rundll32 cause an error in…..” error message. But that’s another problem!
