this may help. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Workgroup common Issue 2 - problem in a mixed OS
Symptoms: 1) win9x computers can see each others but not W2K or XP. 2) win9x
and W2K/XP can ping each other by using IP but not computer names. 3) Net
view \\computername shows error 53.
Resolutions: this is a name resolution issue. Since this is a workgroup
without WINS server, you may need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on W2K/XP.
Note: some people find that installing NetBEUI or IPX also work. But loading
NetBEUI or IPX is not recommended. If enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP doesn't
work while loading NetBEUI works, this is not name resolution issue. This
may cause because of a software like firewall is running.
