It can take up to 15 minutes after a computer starts up before network browsing works. During that time, you should be able to access another computer by typing the other computer's name in the Start | Run box preceded by two backslash characters: \\computer If that doesn't work, here are two common reasons for the inability to browse the network: 1. The network settings are configured for user-level access control, which isn't available in a peer-to-peer network. Go to Control Panel | Network, click the Access Control tab, and make sure that share-level access control is selected. 2. The user isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt when Windows 98 starts? If so, don't cancel it. Complete the logon by entering a user name and, optionally, a password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log Off or Start | Shut Down | Close all programs... and log back on. If that makes network browsing work properly, the most likely fix is to go to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ Network\Real Mode Net and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown he http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/nologon.htm#AutoLogon -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

High but on windows XP I have same problem since updating to SP2 but I do
not have option in control panel to set share-level access control is selected in Access Control tab and all computer users are logged in. There is no problem browsing from the XP machine to the Windows 98 and ME machines just browsing to XP from the 98/ME. Any other ideas on correcting this issue would be very much appreciated.
