When I explore the network and try to go in to one of my network computers I get ?There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request? but on the server I can go to any computer on the net work and see all of the resources onthe computers.

Seems logical - feature, not bug.
When starting up, the workstations logon to the server with a machine account. This creates a two-way trust insofar that the ws resources are visible from the server.
Another ws, the one you're browsing with, doesnot have this two-way trust. Apparently your workstations have been setup so that they do not advertise their resources automatically - I guess this is a W2K default, with NT it was the other way round.
Still, with a direct NET USE and then /U: anda userid which is part of the _workstations_ SAM database, you should be able to use the ws resource.

Have fun,
