I have installed the latest Windows Critical Updates from the Windowsupdate site, and, now I cannot browse network neighborhood. I can use net view and I can use unc to access computers, but network neighborhood only shows entire network. OS is Win98 SE.
Thank You

I ran into this problem on a Win98 machines myself after a MS update. The problem was two fold.
1. I had to go back into my network settings and enable Netbios.
2. I had to ensure that the Client was the MS Network client and not the Family Client.
3. If your machine is part of a domain , you will need to ensure that your computer name is the same and that it is registered in the Domain.
Try those steps and see if your network becomes browseable again.
Good luck
