Network issueLaptop : This computer connects to the internet & runs Windows XP Pro. Computer 1 running dual boot 98se & XP Pro networked and connecting to the internet using ics via the laptop. This is the computer with the issues. Computer 2 running 98se networked and connecting to the internet using ics via the laptop. The issue is that when running XP on computer 1 the network the network cannot be seen by it and it cannot be seen by Computer 2 when the laptop is disconnected from the network and used elsewhere.This happens after computer is rebooted & the laptop is disconnected and not on the network. I've noticed that under network connections on computer 1 the icon for the internet gateway called "laptop" disappears after a reboot and comes back (and the network) after running a local area connection repair. In short the network on computer 1 running Xp works ok as long as the laptop is connected to the network also. Everything on computer 1 works ok when it's running 98. Lindsay

The browser under Windows 98 and XP don't play well together. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/windows-9x-9598me-and-browser.html> <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html#Prevent> -- Cheers, Chuck http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem - it's a normal response from experience.

I'm not sure if that's the same problem I'm having though. The laptop (the gateway) connecting to the internet runs XP. The computer with the issue runs XP. (with dual boot to 98 in the second disk. In 98 it works ok with the laptop. Also the third computer running 98 works ok with the laptop.The issue is XP to XP computer to laptop.This problem happens also when not on the internet.
