Can't find all computers on network

We have two wired Netgear routers. One is EN104 and the other is FS105. Until recently, we had all plugged into the FS105 and a RP114. We have 6 computers in the network. For some reason recently, we have not been able to see all the computers. The main hub computer cannot see two computers. Those two computers see each other, but no other computers. We have checked the lines and each can get online fine. I doubt if the switch made a difference, but who knows.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Edited to add that most are on Windows 98se, but two have XP and one has Linux. There is no problem with the XP's or Linux.

Thanks very much!

what exactly do you mean - can't see? can't ping by ip as well?

How do I ping? The firewall is only in the router. Should be okay there. This is really getting frustrating. I remembered, too, that my isp had me do something with my IP address and that's about when it all began. Remember, though, I can see three other computers, two that run XP and one that runs a Suiss (sp?) A Linux deal. The other two computers I don't see are running Windows 98se, as well as my own.

in windows 98 you do the following:
start
run
type in "command" and press enter
in the dos shell type "ping 111.222.333.444"
the number being the IP of the pinged host
