Neighborhood icon. You should see one icon for the entire network and the
names of the other PCs on the network.

If you can see your computer along with all the other computers on the
network in Network Neighborhood, then the Windows 98 network config-
uration is complete. Continue with Appendix C: Sharing Your Files and
Printers if you want your PC’s data or printer to be available to others on
the network. You may stop here, however, if you wish to configure File and
Printer Sharing at a later time.

Refer to the Troubleshooting section if:

• You don't see anything at all in Network Neighborhood and have pressed

the F5 key on your keyboard a few times to refresh the screen.

• You only see your own computer in Network Neighborhood.

• You see all computers on the network except yours and have tried press-

ing the F5 key a few times.

• You only see computers that are running the same operating system as you

and you don’t see any others.
