I had a similar problem. Two 98SE computer worked fine together, but once the Xp machine was started, the 98 PCs couldn't see anything on the network (although they did still have Internet access via the router). The problem was not the Xp firewall, but the McAfee Personal Firewall+ that came with the PC. Once I set it to trust the block of IP addresses that the router issues to my PCs, then it all worked fine. So look closer for any other firewall that may be messing up things and dumb it down some, or just for testing purposes disable it entirely.

Thanks for your prompt response.
However, after disable the XP firewall, the problem is still exist.
Any other suggestion is appreciated.
