If these machines are XP, try running this reg patch on them:
www.careyholzman.com/xp/home/fixnet.zip
(reboot for changes to take affect)
then run through the network setup manually on each PC following these
step-by-step directions:

>> PLEASE!! Can somebody help with some advice!!!

>> Setup: 3 PC's at home, all networked via hub and ADSL router.

>> PC1 - Windows XP Pro SP2
>> PC2 & 3 - Windows 98SE

>> OK, so PC1 has 3 logon names plus the Guest account set. PC2 has 2 of

>> PC2 and #1 on PC3, #3 on PC1 is the same as #2 on PC2, #1 on PC1 same as
>> #1 on PC3)..

>> So, from PC1 I can map the shared folders on PC2 & 3, yet I can't see

>> You can ping each PC fine...
>>
>> IP addresses are in the order 192.168.1.x with the ADSL modem/router

>> RealPopup also runs on all 3 and can send messages via the network
>> fine.....

>> So, what is wrong here?? Any suggestions very much welcomed!
