    changed computer name and .....

    My home network consists of 3 machines (2 win2k and 1 98fe). I changed the machine name of the 98 machine in order to VPN to work. Now the 98 machine is not showing up in network neighborhood or computers near me??? The only way that i can figure to access its resources is to do a find/computer and type the name and then it finds it (then i have to map the resources). Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the machine back in NN?

    thanks in advance

    Did you change the WORKGROUP name too..... Probably?

    Put all of the other computers into the same workgroup as your primary computer (the one on VPN).
