I have 2 pC's connected on a network. I can ping the WIN98 box from the
Linux Box and vice versa, but the Linux box does not appear in the Network
Neighborhood on the W98 box.

Any assistance appreciated.

Check out the Samba HOWTO. You need to use Samba in order to share
disks and printers between Linux and Network Neighborhood.

If you are using Samba make shure that you have browsing set to yes.

Solution,

In regedit create the key:

/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP/EnablePlainText
with value is 1 (type is DWORD).
Good luck

Actually, the registry hack outlined above is useful mosly for NT access
to
samba. I've never heard of win 9x using ncrypted passwds.

Anyway, david, try editing c:\windows\hosts to reflect your
machines' ip addresses.

Also, try this: Start->Run: \\111.222.333.444\share

where 111.222.333.444 is your samba machine, and share is one of the
samba shares in /etc/smb.conf.

If that works, your problem is in resolving the Linux ip.
Fixing hosts should correct this.
