I have three systems setup with a Linksys switch box. XP can not see WIN2000 but can ping it. 2000 can see XP fine. Neither system can see Win98 nor can i ping win98. In addition, to the above 98 can not browse the network workgroup. I have all networking configuration inplace, print file sharin ect. and I have the names unique and I also have the Workgroup name the same on all systems. Why can't Win98 browse and why cant XP and Win2000 see 98. I need 98 on the network. HELP... Also, Whycan't win2000 see XP.

Just in case, check your tcp/ip settings and verify that they are all on the same ip addressing scheme and subnet mask.

You'll need matching user accounts on each machine for each user to be able to access the other machine via the network.

Yes, those configurations tcp/ip and subnet mask was check already not the problem. HELP I had even went as far as to static IP the win98 system. The XP, and 2000 remain DHCP.

2nd question>>> The win98 has a automatic login no user acct is on this machine. How do I set a user account on another system that automatically logs in. Do I create a user account for the 98 system???
