My laptop is installed with winxp professional. After going thru the
necessary networking setup, it still cannot talk to my win98se machines in
my office. When I click on Network Places, the error message says "Atc is
not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access
permission. The network name cannot be found."

"Atc" is the workgroup name I allocate to all my win98se machines and hence
my winxp laptop too. The funny thing is I can connect to my gateway to gain
internet access....but I cannot access or connect to any of my win98se
machines as given in the error message above.

Would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
