Network browsing in Network Neighborhood and My Network Places depends
on having one computer, designated as the "master browser", keep track
of the computers and respond to browsing requests from other
computers. If that computer leaves the network, the other computers
are supposed to notice and elect another computer as the "master
browser".



Stan,
My knowledge in this area is very limited, so much so perhaps I should
keep my trap shut.
But sometimes another pair of eyes?

Its been suggested you should have the router as the DHCP for your
network.
Is it on and so configured before you boot your separate computers?
Is each of the computers configured to get IP automatically? Especially
the 98?

My 2p?
