I have essentially the same set up with Win 95 instead of the Win 98
machine you have, plus a 3rd machine (Unix running SAMBA so it can
participate in the MS net). My NetGear Hub is 3-4 years old.

Since installing SP5 and with it IE 5 on the NT machine, I have observed
similar behavior at times when using Network Neighborhood to "look at"
my network. Sometimes the NT machine is there, other times it is not.
However, permanently mapped shared disks always work as expected, between
the 3 computers. If you find the key, please let me and the list know.
