I had a similar problem when installing a Win2K network on the
cold side of an SMC7004ABR Barricade router. I had to install
NetBeui, in addition to TCP/IP. Zero documentation about this
from SMC. The person who gave me the NetBeui hint, suggested
that perhaps SMC didn't want to mention NetBeui because
Microsoft may no longer be supporting NetBeui, even though it
was their idea in the first place.
There's a lot of places to troubleshoot when you have a win2K
network that isn't working. For example, I once had an IPX/SPX
network fail and it turned out the reason was that the
passwords of the other computers had expired. It's
ironic how full of security holes Microsoft products are, but
default setting of passwords to expire for an internal network
was obviously some MS person's idea of a security measure.
