I set-up a three computer peer-to-peer and in order to share files and a DSL connection.
One system = XP
Two system = 98SE

The only problem I ran into is that I cannot get the 98SE systems to "see" the XP system. I can see the two 98SE systems from the XP just fine.

What did I forget to do?

Thanks in advance. Mahalo,

Dumb question for ya, did you share your C:? Also, check your permissions. Is Everyone group setup correctly? Check the sharing properties of C: if you're sure you've already shared it out.
 
I forgot to mention, XP comes with a built-in firewall. Is this enabled or configured properly?
 
The workgroups are all set to the same name.
The directories for sharing are also configured so that there is full-access.
Are there other steps that I've missed? Mahalo,
