W2K systems cannot see each other in a Domain

Hi,
I have a Win NT set-up as a PDC.
I also have two W2K Workstations logging into the Domain.
From the Server I can see both W2K boxes and access their files.
From either W2K box I can see and access the Server but NOT the
other W2K box. They do not show in My Network Places on the other
boxes (ie Box A can see the server and itself, box B can see the
server and itself, box A cannot see box B and box B cannot see box A).
If I try to do a search for the computer name from either W2K boxes,
it does not find the other W2K box (i.e. Search from A does not find B
and viceversa). If I use the NETcommand from either W2K box looking
for the other box, it says that the resurce is not available.

I have included each other's W2K loggin accounts from the PDC into
each other's Admin group in the W2K boxes. I have shared all HDD's
with the default EVERYONE group with Full Control.

Both W2K boxes can access the internet as well as the Server, hence, I
don't think is hardware or set-up. When I try to include each W2K box
in the Domain (from the server) I got a reply that Machine accounts
already exist (hence, the server recognizes both W2K boxes as part of
the Domain).

I am inclined to think it has to do with rights/permissions, but I am
totally lost.

Any help would be very welcomed.

Tx!
