I found that with Win2k I had to hit refresh several times after selecting entire network. You might try selecting run and typing \\machinename\ sometimes it finds it even if it doesn't when selecting entire network. I battle with this with my laptop all the time. I find it works best if I just map a network drive. It is a pain when you boot and it doesn't find it, but it really works better.
