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.
