Vincent, you mention TCP/IP - what other protocols do you have defined
for the NIC?  You will need (preferably) NETBIOS or (more complicated)
NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP.
Assume you can logon - the simplest is a command line "logon 
/p: /v:local" logs you on to your workstation.  Next, enter
"net view" to see which machines and what resources are defined, as far
as your workstation can tell.  Do the same from the other machine(s). 
They should ALL give the same list.  Couple of potential problems:
incorrect domain names (they should all be the same), user ID's not
properly defined on all stations, protocols not matched on the
machines.
Once you get "net view" to work, things should straighten out

The only problem I've ever had with Warp 4 was the 'disappearing
folder' trick prior to FP1.  No matter what Netscape and/or other apps
does to the WPS, the net keeps chugging on - I have to make sure and
check with the wife and kids before booting since they can't tell any
difference when things freeze here and gripe like mad if I cut them off
the Inet.  That's reasonably stable .
