I've installed an XP system w/my 2 other win 98 systems on my network with the XP wizard and all's well. I disconnect the XP machine (laptop) and reconnect, and the network no longer sees the xp machine!? Happened a couple times. Any suggestions? I appreciate it.

Go to Network Connections, right click your LAN connection and choose Repair. System will request a new IP from your DHCP server.
After the Laptop is disconnected it will recieve an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Address)address (169.254.X.X), because it could not recieve one via DHCP.
