to things that are needed for you to perform this options. dns server (active diectory intergrated) and wins. Dhcp would also be very useful to use so you can assign ip, dns and wins address for all clients. The computers shouls also be part of the domain with computer accounts created. hope this points you in the right direction!
if you need help configuring in detail email me for instructions.

How are you doing name resolution on this network? WINS? DNS? Both? Are these machines on the same subnet? It sounds to me like either a name resolution issue, or more likely a computer browser issue. But I need more info to tell for sure.

Aside from the other suggestions, do make sure you are using the NetBEUI protocol. On a Win2k platform, the lack of NetBEUI will cause share problems and you will be puzzled because Network Neighbourhood will see the shares but you will be unable to connect.
