It could be DNS but I think since one machine can connect that is probably not the case. I think that the machines may not have permissions to browse the share.

Only servers. We got a dual Opteron to grind through the processing for Citrix securely over the web at 64 -bit. We put SuSE Linux on it, because SuSE and Red Hat were the first two OSs to capitalize on 64-bit. SuSE had a slightly newer kernel that also nearly doubled the speed of the previous one. I understand that the 64-bit update for Windows Server 2003 will be coming out shortly, but that for desktops we'll have to wait (longer) for Longhorn.
