Network quesiton

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Should you be able to see both pcs that are networked
together when you open the network places? I can see both
on my 98 machine but only the 98 machine on the XP
machine? Does XP operate differently than 98 because when
I had both machines on 98 they would display each pc.

I have tried everhting I know but can't get the XP machine
to show itself in the network place. Is this normal under
XP?

Thanks from clueless

Thanks for the help - I did that and I renamed them and
they changed into folder icons and said this computer
instead of the computers name. Is this the way it should
work?

Thanks Again
