    I have a small peer to peer network that i want to add a Windows 98 computer to. The Windows 98 computer can see the rest of the computers on the network, but not it self. You can not see the Windows 98 computer from any of the other computers. I have tried to rename the computer, just can't get to join the network. Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to MajorGeeks.:)

    Just a quick question. Do you have a software firewall installed on the add comp? That could block the other comps from seeing it.
    Here's a link to get to basic network procedures that can answer some of the normal questions.
