I can't see all computers on the network
Hi, i have Win98SE on 3 computers and 2 of them can see all the PCs on the network (more than 100) in Windows Explorer, but the other one only can see some of them (probably only the ones in the same workgroup), i've already installed NetBeui....
Any Ideas ?
Thanx in advance !

What is the used protocol on the network, Netbeui or TCP/IP?
ASKER
tcp/ip.... but i read that netbeui is needed to see the whole network, i solved the problem in the other computers with it.
It sounds like an issue with your master browse list. Can you access the computers if you type in their name on the Run line? (\\computername). Do you have WINS setup on your network?
ASKER
no.... I can't access them typing names on Run, but if I use Win98 search I can access them...
Are you using WINS, DNS or both on your network. If you have more than 100 PC's on your network I'm assuming you have a server.
ASKER
well.... i'm not the network administrator.... i work with those 3 pcs.... I dont know if the network uses wins.... if u can tell me how i can know...
I believe you can tell by going to Start, Run, Winipcfg.

No DNS or WINS Servers in winipcfg .....
Are all the computers in the same workgroup?
ASKER
No.... There are around 10 workgroups....
In that kind of environment, it's amazing that the other PC's can see them at all.
