The mixture is probably your problem.  Make sure you use the same subnet and
IP address range on all the systems.  In Windows 95, there is a way to
disable the master browser feature.  Right-click on Network Neighborhood, in
the Configuration tab, select the file and print client for MS network,
click on Properties and voila, Browse master is most assuredly set at
Automatic.  Change it and save the stuff.  I suspect there is a way also on
98 or Me, but I never used these OS so I do not know for sure.

Select one system, you fastest one, or one that is always on-line and enable
master browsing on it and disable it on the others.

Denys:

The PC's are at work: Win95, Win98, WinME ... along with some printers
on Jetdirect printservers. The PC's all have fixed IP addresses ... no DHCP.
The network is small and I originally set it up before I purchased the
Linksys
router, so DHCP wasn't available. The network is peer-to-peer, with no
server.
There are no duplicate IP addresses, but the subnet masks are a mixture of
255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0, as I am experimenting with this. I changed
the workgroup on the ones I am switching to 255.255.255.0.
Unfamiliar with what PDC stands for or what a master browser might be.
