Protocols. Make sure all your machines are using the same set of protocols.
And since you have an NT 3.51 you will need NetBuIE as well as TCP on all
your machines. And be sure to remove SPX from the NTs (installed by
default). You will also have to manually add DNS entries for the NTs. You
should also set up a WINS server for the NTs.
