Um, ok i'll bite...
Are you running any firewall software on the
client
machines?
Have you tried searching for
machines?
can you ping the other machines?
have you given 98 the required 1 minute to
pull its
head out of its arse?
If you boot 98 and go straight into looking
for
network, it usually doesn't work for a while.
Try enablind a shared folder on the 98
machine, and
see if it can see itself first.
Best of luck.
P.S. I've been running just tcpip for about 2
years, and it's fine. 98 nt 2k xp linux boxes..

Earlier in the month it was pointed out to me in no
uncertain terms
that I was utterly, utterly wrong about needing IPX/SPX
to
enable
my computers to browse their network neighbourhoods.

Well, I've got rid of IPX/SPX and my network is
nigh on ****ing
unusable !!!
Win98 can't browse anything in Net.
Neigh. "Unable to browse the
network".
My Win98 machine can see
one
of the machines but not Server in
any way shape or form. Running
\\Server
gets an error. It can
ping it fine though!
Win2000 cannot see
the
Win98 machines in NN, only by running
\\<machine
name>
Win2000 machines *can* see each other in their own NN
though!
Hoorah! One success in a bleak world right now.
Not being able
to
browse the NN makes using the Fuji's a bit
awkward as I'm then having
to
make new folders/shortcuts
and/or use the virtual keyboard instead of
browsing a nice
desktop icon.
I don't have that complicated a
configuration: DHCP on Server (via
SyGate) which *is* allocating IP
addresses to all clients from its
own fixed IP. All clients get their
TCP/IP IP via server assignment.
For me, this is totally and utterly
unacceptable, no matter how
many of you tell me otherwise! ! ! <BIG
smiley grin>.
If somebody can tell me their secret, I'm
listening,
but until then, it's
back to IPX/SPX for me.
