Home network, 4 PC's on a Linksys router. My daughter's has just been partitioned and given its own separate 98se, so she can do video editing on that partition with NOTHING ELSE on it except Windows. Strong advice to do so by several video friends. So, using Partition Magic, I did just that. Installed the OS, and of course you can only have one active partition, so that one is hidden. I use Boot Magic to make it easy to boot to, but that doesn't affect the "hidden" status. Since I want to be able to use my network to allow her to store edited files on my second hard drive, which is visible to the network, I set up the NIC on the new partition, and it can access the internet OK, but Network Neighborhood says the local network is not available. I have to conclude that the hidden status is the problem. I've got it shared correctly, as far as I know. Lots of the details are really not clear to me, I had help setting it up, and have forgot a fair amount of what my friend explained to me at the time.

Any help??
