    Thanks

    just a wild guess, are you using netbui for sharing on the 98 and ME computers?
    If so there is your problem.

    The most common problem is making sure your are all on the same subnet, and the mask is correct. You should all have a default gateway set to the same IP, make sure your workgroup matches. The default is "WORKGROUP". Thy that first.
