I'm having some trouble with networking 4 of my computers in my home network. I have them all 4 set up the exact same (except with the OS differences) and it still doesn't work. Two of the computers are running ME, the other 2 are running 98. 3 of them are working fine, but the 4th, which is running ME, is having some trouble seeing the other 3 in the workgroup. When I do a search for computer, it finds them no problem. And the ping works fine too. It's just they wont show up in the workgroup. The other 3 can also see the computer and activate its drives through the workgroup. I've tried everything I know how to do, but all it sees is itself on the workgroup.

Are you sure it's in the same Workgroup as the other three?

set the host to
192.168.0.1
set all other computers on the network to 'obtain dns automatically'
should work, with each computer named diff, and all in the same workgroup
