I have not used WINY2K but I have networked three computers at home
together.  It only took me a month to get two of them to talk to each other,
then I had to reload my RH and it took me another month to get them to talk
to each other again.  When I had to do it a third time, it only took two
days.  One thing I think might be important would be the work group and
computer ID's.  You said that some of the boxes won't even ping themselves,
which ones.  The ones that can ping themselves, can Debian ping them.  Also
how many boxes (I am curious).

Off-topic: I'm trying to get some windows boxes (2000, ME) to connect
on the network and ping to each other.  They won't but the Debian box
seems to be okay.  I've got addresses assigned, etc, but they won't
talk to each other: some boxes won't even ping themselves.  Anybody
seen anything like this before?  Any hints or suggestions (it's
already occurred to me to have a huge bonfire).

Thanks.
