Windows 98 network problem

by netadmin . Updated 23 years, 4 months ago

I have a computer network with Windows 98 computers and a Windows 2000 server. It is a peer-to-peer workgroup.

My Windows 98 workstation can see every computer in Network Neighborhood, except for itself. It can ping everybody by IP Address, andin most cases by name. However, when pinging by name it takes a really long time before it finds it.

If I type in \\COMPUTER_NAME in Network Neighborhood I can reach any other computer on the network. But if I type that same command in with thename of my computer, It is unable to find it.

Any ideas what the problem could possibly be. I have File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks installed, as well as Client for Microsoft Networks.

Thanks
