I am trying to add a network printer on a 98 machine. It
is a shared printer installed on an XP machine. When I
browse for the printer, the add wizard does not see the
machine, so I can't add it. All the other XP machines on
the network can see this shared printer. What is wrong?

Is the Windows 98 in the same Workgroup as the other PCs?
