Can't see computers in my network places

coltonjdavis · 01-07-2009, 09:07 AM

Alright I am running Windows Server 2003 on my server. I then have all my clients with XP Pro SP3. Periodically a client (not machine specific) will not be able to see the server or any other computer on the network when it goes to my network places. I have tried everything i know and am hoping for any ideas as I don't know what else to do. I need this resolved quickly.

Thank you for any help.

Are you running this server as a peer to peer file server, or as a domain controller? Do the individual clients have their firewalls on?

It is a DC. All of the clients are running Mcafee small business.
