Win98 - missing C drive

Apologies if this appears twice but I posted it several hours ago and as far
as I can see it has not yet reached this forum

Mixed network: Win98SE/Win2000Pro/WinME

Five computers in Network Neighborhood and all C drives and shared printers
are visible and usable....with one exception. I have one machine [98SE] whose
C drive shared access is set at 'full' and whose attached printer is shared,
but the rest of thenetwork can only 'see' the printer and not the C drive. I
have reinstalled File & Printer Sharing several times on this computer and
note that the C drive shows up in Windows Explorer with the 'shared' symbol
clearly shown but I cannot get the drive to appear in Network Neighborhood -
and of course it is not available to the other machines in the Workgroup. The
shared printer on this machine is visible and
functions normally.

Comments/suggestions/help appreciated...

Admiral Q

I'm looking for the Windows Server (Win2k/Win2k3) issue here? I seem to be
missing it?
