Make sure the workgroup is trhe same and try adding netBeui protocol to the machines that do not have it? It's a hard issue to troubleshoot.

When you add win2k to a network without a win2k server such as a workgroup, win 2k will not let others have access to it's computer. The problem is win2k has security made for companys. To let the other machines see the win2k machine, add the othercomputers names to the win2k sam (go to computer managment in settings and open users folder. add the computers there or activate the guest user profile.

If you are using windows 98 to connect to a win2k machine you must activate the guest account or add the windows 98 machine name to the computers folder. if you are having trouble connecting between 2 win2k machines check to see if they have the same network protocols installed.
