Exclamation Networking Chaos!! (XP & 98SE)

Hello!,

This is the status of my network:

1 ADSL line.
1 ADSL router, connected to the main computer "A".
Computer "A" have 2 NICs, one to input the router cable and another to output the connection to a 24-switch. My computer "CVD" is connected to this switch.

As far as 2 days ago, all the computers had WIN 98SE, properly connected and visible each other. All them have Internet access too.

Yesterday, I've upgraded "CVD" to WinXP-Pro and the problems begins.
I can't see all the neighborhood. Only 2-3 computers but not all them.
Internet access is okay, since XP works perfect to auto-configure access.

My big trouble is that I need yes or yes to visualize the computer "A" because it have useful resources.

Computer "A" can see me, access my disks and everything, but it don't work in reverse
I can ping it and it responds perfect.

Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on? I'm bored so far trying to fix this.

For more information, those are the protocols installed on each sides ("A" and "CVD"): NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, Netware Client and Microsoft Client.

THANK YOU if you can help me with this!

One of the most common problems with XP networking is that it may need a same user account on the client and the host.

What you mean of have the same user account?
I have 'Administrator' user in my XP and 2-3 different users in the 98SE. Most commonly are 'LUJAN' or 'FABIAN'.
Should I setup a new account on my XP?
