Does the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' run over TCP/IP on Windows 2000? I have a network of 98, NT4 and (one) Win2K systems. The only way the Win2K system can see the others is with NetBEUI installed. With only TCP/IP installed, I can get to the internet and ping the other computers on the network, but they will not show up in 'My Network Places' until NetBEUI is installed.

NetBEUI is a broadcast-based protocol, so that's why you get better browsing through the network neighborhood function. File and print sharing works fine through TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and IPX/SPX in the Windows environment. Check out the "network woes" thread, it may help to clear up the situation for you.
