win nt machine cannot see win xp machine

[james bonds]

I have 2 win xp machine and 2 win nt machines setup PTP in
a workgroup. The 2 win xp machines see each other, and the
2 win nt machines see each other. But neither xp will see
either nt machine and visa versa.

Also the nt machines are saying " DHCP client could not
obtain an ip address.

Please help me so I can move on to my next issue.

are nt machines using tcp/ip? make sure all computers are using the tcp/ip
and enable netbios over tcp/ip on xp.
