I have three networked computers on a wireless network. The main computer where my Broadband connection comes in is a desktop that is running Windows XP, it has a direct connection to the network via ethernet cable from the wireless router. I then have a brand new laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium and an older desktop running Windows 98 SE. From my laptop I am able to see the other two computers and I can get into the files on the 98 machine. When I am on my 98 PC, under Network Neighborhood, the only other PC that shows up is the desktop running XP, not the laptop. So I am able to view the 98 desktop from the laptop, but I cant view the vista laptop from the 98 PC. The 98 desktop is connected wirelessly to the network through a wireless card, and the laptop is connected wirelessly as well. I was just wondering if there is a patch or something that will be able for the 98 machine to see the Vista machine. I am able to see the XP computer from the 98, so there might be a compatability issue between 98 and Vista file sharing. File sharing is of course enabled on both machines and all workgroup names are the same, Firewalls are setup to allow file sharing. Please Help!! Thanks....
