Gang,
We have a Win2000 SP2 machine that WILL do the following: using the 'net
use' command set a drive letter to a remote machines drive; ping both
inside and outside the office; Internet works fine; other machines can see
it on Network Neighborhood and connect to its resources. What it WON'T do
is see any other machine in Network Neighborhood. It says the network is
not accessible. The Workgroups are all the same and all machines get
settings from the same DHCP server.

Anyone able to shed some light???

Thanks

can you ping the other machine???
Is the machine in the same work group?
Is the subnetmask the same??
Has this machine got a firewall?


Try this...,

get the IP address of the machine your having problems with...
goto another machine on your network & ping that IP address
Then try pinging the name of that machine...
go back to the machine your having problems with ping any other machine on
your network? or goto start run \\(any machine name on the network) see if
it will go directly to the machine.

Let me know the results

DNS, what is Your DNS setup? Win2K uses DNS for Everything. Do you have a
Win2k DNS server with a Primary Zone for YOUR System? Not to be confused
with Internet DNS.
