Installed NIC using Win98. POST sees NIC. Windows sees and configures NIC. Resources check good but computer cannot be seen in Network Neighborhood - have tried 4 known good NICs with same results.

Is "File and Print Sharing" installed under Network Properities? Win9x machines will not show up in Network Neighborhood if it is not installed.

You may also need the MS NetBEUI protocol installed on these computers. Especially if you so not have a true "server" in the network (if you have a peer-to-peer networkk, you need NetBEUI on all the computers in order to "see" others in Network Neighborhood).

Check to make sure the workgroup or domain name for the problem computer are the same as the others.

I would go with Anna777's answer. For me, missing NetBEUI has usually been the problem with invisible computers. While your at the NETWORKS dialog box, make sure the IP address and subnet mask are correct - if you use static IPs.

Good luck
