Beating a dead horse: Win2k --> Win98, WinMe Home Networking

I have 3 computers connected to a D-Link DI-804 Router. One computer is 98, another is ME, another is 2000. Each computer can access the Router's page. The 98 and ME machines can share files flawlessly.

However, neither computer can "See" my 2000 Box. My 2000 box can "see" both computers via Network Neighborhood but are unable to access them, nor ping them. They still appear in the network view, however.

I've done everything I could by searching these forums. I've tried making user accounts for both of the 98/ME machines. Still, information can't be exchanged. What else is there? I've also tried making the lmhosts file. I just made it:

192.168.0.11 Computer1
192.168.0.12 Computer2

The 98 and ME machines see each other. They both can't see my 2K and vice versa. HELP!!


 
I'm a moron. Just randomly I changed the IP i had chosen for my 2k machine. Then everything worked.
