Windows 2000 Pro

Hi Folks,
We have 6 Win 2000 Pro machines, and a few Win 98
machines. On the 98 machines in network neighborhood
we can see the 2000 machines and access the shared folders. But in network neighborhood on the 2000 machines there is nothing there, no 2000 machines or 98 machines. All we have is a basic peer to peer network
with all the machines connected through a hub.
So why do the 2000 machines not see each other,
but the 98's see the 2000's. One more thing the 2000 machines can all see 4 computers on the network
two 98's, a 2000 pro, and a server 2000 box.
But not the other 10 machines on the network.
We are ready to buy a server as we have out grown this set up, but that is a few months away and I need this machines
to communicate with each other now. So can someone please help me or steer me to a place that can help.

Thanks
Max

Is file and print sharing turned on for the Win2K machines?

Also, do you have separate software Firewalls on each machine? If so, check "Sharing" under their security settings.
