There has to be a FAQ fot this published somewhere.

in win2K, I can see the win98SE machine an the win2K machine (My
Network) and can read/write data to it.

on the win98SE, network neighborhood, I get "unable to browse the
network" and cannot read or write to either other machine

on the winxp machine, I get nothing either.

all 3 machine can hit the internet nicely via the router, all 3 have
different IP addresses, are on the same workgroup and have mathcing
login names/passwords.

I cannot even add the explicit IP as a network place, e.g. in the
form of \\192.168.2.x\

help.....

While testing, do this:
- Give each machine a fixed IP address, e.g.
192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2, 192.168.2.3
- Turn off all firewalls (this is essential!)
- Start your tests by pinging each PC from every other PC.

Repost if still unable to resolve the issue.
