Do not use NetBeui. Big securty risk.. also unnessesary. Machines need to
have a way to "discover" each other. NetBeui is working for you because they
"advertise" themselves on the lan. I am assuming your lan doesn't have a
nameserver (which is normal), which is used to find machines when they are
using TSC/IP to talk. You can use the "hosts" file in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc to set it up. Do the following:
1) Open up C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. At the end, add the
entries like this
machine1 ip address of machine1
machine2 ip address of machine2
....etc.
2) Disable Netbeui.
3) Restart machines.
All should be well and machines would be able to find each other by name.
However, this still may not make the machines appear magically in your
"Network Neighborhood". But after you look them up once by name, the
information would get cached and everything should work as expected.
