seeing other xp machines on network

[bulldog bill]

Hi, I hope this is the right place for this question. I recently installed
an SBS2008 system moving the 10 workstations to a server based network from
a peer to peer network. One of the applications used in the accounting
department requires two XP SP3 workstations to connect to another XP SP3
workstation via the web. This worked before the move but now the two
stations cannot "see" the main station. I can ping the main station from
each one, I can resolve it via dns from each of the other two but when I
type in http://computername:8080 They dont see it and the application does
not come up? Any ideas what I am missing or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

afterall.
