Mixed O/S network with D-Link DI-704P router

[PerfectFit]

I am setting up a four-PC home network using a D-Link DI-704P Ethernet Broadband Router firewall/ICS.

The first two PCs run Win98SE, and they connected easily, can share files, etc. and the ICS works fine.
The other two PCs run Win2kPro, and I cannot get them to be visible on the network.

NetBEUI & TCP/IP protocols are installed, file sharing has been enabled, and the same Workgroup name has been set up on all the machines, which have unique Computer IDs.

So why can't I see all four machines in Network Neighborhood? Is there a problem with mixing O/Ses on this peer-to-peer network?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

First off, uninstall NetBeui on all machines, it is not needed and will just slow everything down.

Second, can the Win2k machines see each other? Can they see the Windows98 boxes?

More details please.
