not displaying a share resource

Have 3 machines windows 98 all. Drives are shared amongst themselves. Little hand is there.

Am using a product called Wingate so ip is set on the server machine as 192.168.0.1. Clients are set to auto obtain. Internet sharing application.

Problem - machine names say are server, machine one, machine two.

Server machine in network neighborhood can see itself and machine one but not machine two.

Machine one can see itself and Server but not machine two.

Machine two can see machine one but not server nor itself.

Have checked everything. Any ideas ?

 

A suggestion if you just want a fix.

Install NetBeui on all three PCs. Then, assuming they are all in the same workgroup and have file/printer sharing enabled with some resource shared on each, they should be able to see and work with each other.

It will not get in the way of any IP traffic and the various issues with the protocol are absolutely not a problem with a small, home network like yours. In fact, that is exactly what the protocol was designed for.

 

Makes sense and I will give that a try. Didnt think of that cuz wingates tech said to make sure nothing but tcp/ip was loaded as a protocol. But your right it shouldnt cause any problems.

Thanks.
