in my workgroup of 7 WIN98 pc's the network neighbourhood suddenly has no computers displayed(on all pc's)this happened while the pc's were on. We can still use the network printers though.

Question? Hub, switch, etc.... what kind of network. Could be tons of things, however, it seems that if all PCs do this, it would be a hub or switch issue. Also check for NetBEUI protocol. Most likely hub.

Good Luck.

Workgroups (ie no domain server), require boardcasts... thus, MS NetBEUI protocol should be loaded on all of these computers.

If you can still use the networked printers, then it's still running even though it's not displaying in network neighborhood.

Reboot each of the computers with the empty Network Neighborhood.
