I've purchased a new computer to add to a little workgroup I have at home. The new computer has win me. I was trying to add the new computer to the workgroup created. After everything is finished, I reboot and the windows me computer can't see the other win98 computers.
Now, I tried to recreate the workgroup and this time the windows 98 offered to create a disk to install on all other win95/98 to setup the workgroup. I did that and now none of the computers see each other.
 
Did you ensure that all the following are correct?
1) Workgroup Name
2) IP addresses are on the same subnet
3) File and print sahring was enabled
