browse list problems

We just upgraded our server from NT4.0 server to W2k
server. Our clients consist of win98, winxp, and
win2k. Unfortunately, sometimes when we try to browse the
network from a client PC we get an incomplete browse
list (not all of the other clients will appear in the
list), but we are able to map a network drive to their
shared folders as long as we know the client's name.
There are no error messages in the event log. This
problem occurs randomly throughout the day (sometimes we
do get a complete list and other times we don't). This
never happened before the upgrade, and we have installed
the latest service packs. Also, we are using a domain
not a workgroup...and we've tried using browstat.exe to
troubleshoot....but still no luck.....if you want more
detail....we are on a WAN from northwest arkansas and
have 2 offices in oklahoma....when we are having browsing
problems we notice that the only clients we see are those
located in Oklahoma (and sometimes we only see 2 or 3 of
those from Oklahoma) and none from our office in Arkansas
if that helps any? Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

How many nics in the server and how are they set up (IP's please)? Got WINS
installed on the server, right?
