Browsing network over dial-up RRAS

The problem is, I connect to local network with modem and RRAS configured on server, but when I want to browse the network I dont see any computers and I even cant get to that computers by typing their IP address in format like "\\IP_ADDRESS" it just says they arent there, but I can ping them by that same IP address. Next strange thing is that with XP clients works fine by name or IP, but every other client in network (W98, ME, 2000) it wont work. I use WINS and it works fine. So any ideas?
 
It is probably a domain/workgroup thing. Do the machines do a local login
before they connect to the RRAS server? XP has an improved version of
connection manager which handles this better than previous OS versions. Try
using "logon using dialup connection" to get the clients logged on to the
domain, or put then in a workgroup with the same name as the RRAS server's
workgroup/domain .

Also check that they receive the correct WINS address when they connect.
They should be able to ping LAN machines by name.
