Not seeing W2K Workstations

We have an NT Domain (one PDC), with a Win2K Member Server. (Yes, someday
we will go to a Win2K based network. :-)) I added two new workstations
which are Windows 2000 Professional. They login to the domain just fine,
and I can see them in Windows NT Server Manager on the PDC. However, they
are not visible in Network Neighborhood, nor can I find them by using find
or search on any computer in the network (Win2K or NT). In fact from both
these problem machines, I can see all the other older machines. This is a
problem, because I need to add them into a group for Symantec Corporate
Edition and a couple of other places.

(Update - I turned on File and Printer Sharing and now they show up in
Search or Find, but no go elsewhere)

How can I make them visible in the domain?

Appreciate any help.
Thanx,
 
Thanx, that worked on one workstation. The other one already had Netbios
over TCP/IP enabled, and that one still does not work. Any ideas?

Thanx much.

OK, I got it to work! I checked the File and Printer Sharing box, and it
was seen! Unbelieveable. :-)

Anyway, you got me on the right track, so many thanx.
