Only things that I can think of (off the top of my head) is do you have netbeui (network protocol) installed on your OS's? I think that for some reason you need to have this installed for 2k/xp to communicate with ME (or 98 for that matter). The other thing is that in 2k/XP you need to have file and printer sharing enabled, make sure that you add the network users in on the local machines (so that they can be accessed) and last thing for it to even be found in network neighborhood is to make sure that you have setup a network Share on each system. If I remember correctly, if the OS is not sharing any data/drives/etc, then it will not show up on the network.
Other things to be aware of, if you are running zonealarm or another firewall, make sure that you have configured it to allow access from the computers on the lan (for zone alarm i just set the local ip range to be trusted).

If you want I can try to find out some places where i read these various things.
