Hi,

Some things to check on each computer:

Are the computers on the same workgroup?

Is the TCP/IP network protocol installed on both computers?

Are the IP addresses set correctly?
Eg: computer 1 IP:192.168.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0

computer 2 IP: 192.168.0.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0

computer 3 IP: 192.168.0.3
subnet: 255.255.255.0

Can you ping from one computer to the other?

Are the cables / wireless connection working OK

Is there any firewall software running?

Setting all of these settings correctly should enable you to network between the two computers. If it doesn't work, why don't you try running the XP network setup wizard (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > Network Setup Wizard) on the xp computers. When it has finished, select the option to create a network setup disk, and use this in the 98 computer.

HTH,

Edwin
