One issue may be duplicate netbios machine names. 
They do need to be unique within the workgroup.

Control Panel | Network and Dialup | Advanced | Network Identification

Are you cloning your w2k workstations?

If so, you need to run SYSPREP to generate a new SID and other stuff.
This actually works reasonably well.
