Hello Nate,
Thank you for posting here.
Based on my experience, you may try the following methods to resolve this
issue.
Suggestion One:
I suggest you install the NetBEUI protocol on all your computers in the
network to resolve this issue.
On the Windows XP machines please perform the following:
1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and browse to the
Valueadd\MSFT\Net\NetBEUI folder.

3. Copy Netnbf.inf to the %SYSTEMROOT%\Inf hidden directory.
4. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Network
Connections".
5. Right-click the adapter you want to add NetBEUI to, and then click
Properties.
6. On the General tab, click Install.
7. Click Protocol, and then click Add.
8. Click to select "NetBEUI Protocol" from the list and then click OK.
9. Restart your computer if you receive a prompt to complete the
installation.
On the Windows 98/me Machine, please perform:
1). Click Start, point to Settings and Click Control Panel.
2). Double click the Network icon and click the Configuration tab.
3). Click the Add button and click to select Protocol in the next windows
and click Add.
