I have three machines running 98SE on a network running
through a 802.11g wireless router. Machine #1 was just put
on the network with the same setup as the other two. From
machine #1, I can see #'s 2 and 3 and have full access.
From #2 or #3, Network Neighborhood shows #1 from either
machine, but when I double-click, it says "\\xxx is not
accessible".

I have all network and firewall parameters the same, I am
using the same workgroup ("HOME"), and have sharing set
the same on all.

I have a Sygate firewall running, allowing Network
Neighborhood to access machines. Missing something
obvious? Thanks...

OK - too strange. I disabled the firewall ("Allow all"),
and the problem goes away. Then if I reenable the
firewall, it still has acess (no problem)!

Thanks for the tip - I should be on the right path now...
