I can no figure this problem out for the life of me. On my Windows 2000 advanced server not all the computers on my network are being listed. Only the other server and one laptop show under the network neighborhood. I can ping any other computer on the network but can not get them included in the network neighborhood area. I am attempting to use an application that need to connect to the other systems and i can't see them in the application dialog to select them.

Could anyone provide any posable solutions for this problem please?

Thank you

Network Neighbourhoods are populated via netbios browsing. The browse list
is maintained by a master browser if this is a workgroup and the backup
browser updates this list. If this is not a domain, a master domain browser
is not available and netbios doesn't cross routers, so you might need to
configure a WINS server or use the lmhost file to complete the list.
