I can no longer browse my home network of Windows 98 and NT computers with one of my laptops(Win98). I can ping both out to other computers and I can ping the laptop from several computers and I see the laptop in Network Neighborhood. I just can'tbrowse from the laptop. I can find computers on the network from the laptop but I can't open them. All computers are on the same network IP schema and in the same workgroup. Any ideas?

If all the network components are properly configures and properly installed

Enable File sharing in both computers.....
You can browse now at your Explorer...

Thanks for your comments. I already checked that, and file sharing is enabled but still can't browse.

Well if you are sure all the IP settings are correct for both computers, try checking the services on the NT machine to make sure it is working correctly, mainly "server, workstation, computer browser" services. Check event viewer for any computer browser errors that might be present.

Hope this helps.

My NT server is just fine. My Win98 laptop cannot browse my network anymore. But thanks for the comments.
