Ok I hope I can explain this correctly. I have 6 servers in different
locations 5 of the 6 can all see each other and have no problems. My server
named MG can not see any other DCs' or Servers. If I try to ping server HD
from MG for the other way around it times out. But any client in the MG and
HD locations can ping each other and the HD or MG server. All this is the
same for pinging by IP or Host name. If I open up my network places on the
MG server all I see is the clients on this subnet. Printing for example in
MG takes 15v minutes to print anything. But from HD I can print instantly.
Internet connectivity is fine and even browsing from an MG client to the MG
server takes awhile.... Can anyone shed some light on this possibly.

Ok, were it merely a name issue, then we would expect the DNS server,
or the DNS client configuration as happens to most people who ask here.

Your problem cannot be (primarily) a DNS issue since IP fails too.
(I am presuming you don't block ICMP or otherwise disable Ping,
but if that isn't clear you can try connecting to other services, e.g.,
SMB shares or HTTP web servers by IP.)

Describe you network and explain how you arrange routing....

If this is all on one subnet (unlikely) you have some type of hardware
or cabling problem -- or you have IP configuration completely hosed
up.

MG server all I see is the clients on this subnet. Printing for example in

Irrelevant until we get the net and IP fixed.

Ditto. IP first, name resolution second, other services usually fall into
line.
