Seem to have fixed my own problem, with a hint from Doug Sherman:
(1) Disconnected Lan port from Belkin router to Netgear wireless router;
plugged it into a Lan port on the Netgear router
(2) Connected Lan port ethernet wire for Netgear router to the Lan port #4
(and switched to "Uplink" use) on the Belkin router
(3) Added NetBUI to MCE2005 (XP pro sp2)
(4) Disabled "Simple File Sharing" in MCE2005
(5) Sychronized user names and passwords on all Win98SE and other clients
with user accounts and passwords on the MCE2005 machine to enable visibility
of shared resources
(6) Hard boot on all network elements (including Tivo)
(7) Soft boot of MCE2005 machine
Addtional posts from Steve Winograd and Chuck were extremely useful for
isolating my specific issues. Hope this helps someone else!
