If you want to use NetBIOS for whatever reason, implement a WINS server and set your clients to be use either peer mode or hybrid mode. Additionally if you haven’t implemented a domain and don’t want to your only real choice is to collapse your network down to one subnet or try doing some magic with broadcast forwarding etc.

If you have a Win2K server I recommend that you implement an active directory domain, publish your shares and printers in it, turn off NetBIOS altogether and use DNS for name resolution.

If no, pl check your IP and subnet mask. If you can ping, check to see if NetBios is installed.

My 2 cents worth
