I have now set it up that way and unfortunately the problem remains! :( Win peer to peer seems to work fine without netBeui (I believe I tried to get it to work over TCP/IP last time and that didn't work, or perhaps it was something else, oh well, I just remember it not wanting to work without netBeui, now it does, go figure). Also it seems to occur more often when running 16 bit win3.1 apps than when running native 32 bit apps.
