Question : Windows XP Home SP2 computer not accessible to others in network (Win 98, Win XP SP1)

I have three computers that I am trying to network with mixed results.  The main computer is my laptop, running XP Home SP2 (name PSR).  I have a printer attached to that computer and some directories I would like to share.  It is also attached to a router, which has a dsl modem attached.  My other two computers are a Win 98 laptop and a win XP home SP1 desktop.

I ran the networking wizard to set up all three computers.  They all have the same workgroup name.  They all can access the internet.  The Win 98 computer can access shared resources the SP1 computer and vice versa.  The SP2 computer can access shared resources on the other two.  There are no firewalls setup and no internet security software on any of the machines.

My problem is that neither the Win 98 computer or the SP1 computer can access the SP2 computer.  The message I get trying to access the SP2 computer from the Win 98 network neighborhood is "\\Psr is not accessible.  No permission to access resource"  I get a similar error on the SP1 computer.

Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

I agree..  if you delete them and disable the modem, make sure you copy the configuration (Phone Number) for the dialup connection and put it in your MyDocs folder..  just in case you need to use it..
