New WinXP comp won't recognize Win98 computerHi, I recently bought a used emachine computer and it has Winxp and an
Intel wired adapter in it. I tried to hook this up to another computer on my home network which has a dlink 530tx network card and neither computer can see each other. Ran the network wizard on both machines I can see that both are hooked up via the hub lights and still nothing. This setup uses a cat5 setup I have used for years between a win98 and a win95 computer the workgroup names are the same. I dunno what the problem could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are several other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem.
