Can't see Gigabit computers

Hello!

I have regular Windows XP Pro computers and workgroup and two machines that
has gigabit ethernet (Intel Pro desktop MT adapter and nForce3 gigabit)

but these two computers cannot see themselves and each other in My Network
Places, and other other 100mbit computers cannot see them. The gigabit
computers can always see the Windows 2000 Professional with Windows ICS
(DHCP server) and the 100mbit computers can see each other.

to reach the gigabit computers i must type their name into the address bar
like this:
\\strawberry

Is it a problem with Windows Network solution or my SMC EZSwitch 8508T or
gigabit packesizes?

Do the XP boxes have SP2 installed and the firewall turned on???

SP2 installed but firewall is off on all computers.

The strange thing is I can see the gigabit computers right after they have
started up, but after a while they dissapear.
