Default WIN 98 with wireless technology

Is win 98 compartible with Wireless technology.
I have a small office 4 users.
They were all wired to the network (workgroup).
I moved 3 of the users to the wireless hub today.
I user (win 98) is still wired to the regular 10/100 hub.
Nothing else has been changed .
The 3 (wireless)users are fine. They can see the network and browse it. the 4th one (physical wired) can't even browse the network.
Nobody can see his machine on the network as well.
I check the WORK group to make sure it's the same.
He can ping all of the mahcines, but can't browse them.
Help.
Thanks

if they can ping the machine, then the comps should be able to communicate.

Thanks.
I fixed it.
I had to first take out and then rejoin the Work group.
It worked.
