I have a client with a 2 member workgroup. Both running 98.
However one person A can see person B, but B can't see A. Actually, B can't even logon.
The IP range is correct on both machines, the subnet mask is the same and LMAnnounce is on.
Doesanyone have any ideas on what could be the problem ?

Sounds to me like the problem is that person B can't log in. You can normally only use the resources available on other computers once you have logged in.

On computer B, check to make sure that you have the Client for Microsoft Networks loaded.Also make sure that the Client for Microsoft Networks is the Primary Network Logon. On computer A, make sure that you have File and Printer sharing enabled.

Hope this helps!
