I'm currently running a small Lan (9 Pcs). About half of them are running 98 and the other 2000 Pro. My problem is that on one machine (2000), I cannot access the others (98 machines). I can get on the Internet fine and share with other machines, but although it recognizes the 98 machine in question, I cannot access it (error: path could not be found). I have tried to reboot and reset everything but to no avail. I have tried this with both static IPs on all of the local boxes and dynamic (which is what my router prefers... which is kind of odd.... usuall its the otherway around in my experience). Any advice? This is a real drag since the 98 machine runs the office printer...

I had a similar problem with our NT machines and our newer 2000Pro machines (NT machines can see other NTs, but 2000Pro machines can't see the other 2000Pro machines but CAN see the NT machines). You may have already tried this, but what I did was turn on File and Print Sharing on the 2000Pro machines and then rebooted, and that solved my problems.
