Same problem. PC's show up fine in Net Hood on my 2 Win2k Machines but not on the 
2 Win98 boxes. The 98's will show up when I search (from Explrer) and when I do a 
"find computer' off right-clicking NetHood. ------- All pc's ping each other okay. 
Did the F5 thing. 98's access the internet as well as other shared folders on LAN 
--- but the 98's just refuse to retain machines - even itself - in the NetHood listing 
- close it - refresh it - reopen it - doesn't matter. Every time I click or double 
click NetHood or even Computers Near Me, I get "Unable to browse the network. The 
Network is not accessible. For more info look in the Help Index at the topic 'Network 
Troubleshooter'. --- and we know what a joke the MS online Troubleshooters all are.

We've got to be overlooking some registry setting or something. Please note --- am 
using DHCP from Cable ISP rules - using "Windows Logon" for Primary Network Logon 
- The tab "Bindings" for the NIC has both TCP/IP and NetBEUI checked - 

Also, all the cable (LEDs) are good, the Pings all work fine, said that already, 
tried rebooting/no dice, tried the Explr Goto bar again - again good they show up 
- close Explrr - reopen NetHood - not there - use "Find Computer" and one by one 
all PC's again show up in search results but they still refuse to patch into the 
NetHood listing -- EVERY SINGLE TIME when I go and doubleclick on the NetHood icon 
it just expands to the "Entire Network" icon, then I doubclick on Entire Network 
it just loses the + sign - sits there - and I don't even get a "Workgroup" icon, 
nothing, --- just the above error message, "Unable to browse the network."
