This probably has been answered but here goes again.
Trying to fix tonight.

Have three systems here at office, 1x XP(he) and 2x 98se. All three running
through a router to net and an XP server.
The XP can see both 98se fine but the two 98se can't see the XP. The two
98se's can see each other OK.

suggestions please,

L.

Make sure accounts/passwords are compatible.

Don't have passwords and not sure about compatability of accounts?

Explain please,

Hi L,
I'm having similar problem - scouring all over net for solution.
See thread headed WIN NT / 98 NETWORK IPC$ problem which may help.
If you find solution or workaround, please post on this forum.

Is the Windows XP firewall on? If so be sure you have allowed File and
Printer Sharing. If any of the PCs have a third-party firewall uninstall
(not disable, uninstall!) until the problems are sorted out.

Didn't think about the Win XP firewall.
I have ZoneAlarm on all three but have it disabled.
Will check(uninstall) if this helps but would like to keep it.

It's important to uninstall it if suspected of misfiring. Merely
disabling isn't enough to remove it from the suspect list. You can
re-install it again later.

Also it's not just a matter of clicking on uninstall. Follow these
instructions from the zonelabs website.

What James said and I already agreed with. :-)

Most firewalls do not disable cleanly or completely. Uninstall until you
get your network working properly, then reinstall and configure to support
the network.

Somehow it's all working.

Plus, ZoneAlarm is working also.

THANKS,

One second thought, :-), the one problem I have is getting the printer
that's attached to the XP system to be recognized by the 98's. It's a HP
722c and I tried to load additional drivers but don't know where to get
them. The instructions (help menu) talks about a support cd.
any ideas?

L.

I can use the printer that's attached to one of the 98's but would like to
figure this out for learning sakes.

If they're not on the CD that came with the printer you may need to download
them from HP.

Thanks. I was looking for a "support cd" from MS. DUH!!
When I hooked up the printer to XP, I let it load the driver from XP as it
recognized the 722c while the CD that came with the printers was labeled
720c series.

IOW-The XP shows, under printers, the 722c while the 98se's still shows
720c. I figured that's why the 98's recognize the 720c driver that's hooked
up to one of the 98SE but not the 722c hooked up to the XP system.
