Hosts not seeing other hosts

When I go to My Network Places, on some of the hosts in my
domain, they do not show all the hosts in the domain. One
host, that is a print server, does not show up on one
host , but does show up on another host. When I try to
install the printer, the host that is the print server
appears when I browse for a printer, the when I doble
click on the host, it does not show any printers. What do
I need to do to get all hosts to see all other hosts in My
Network Places? That is a good start.

Richard,
Check if all your hosts are configured with the same subnet mask.
If they are not, they will not be able to see each other.
The host that is a "print server".. What package is it using to be a
"server"? Is the printer just shared? If so - is File and Printer sharing
enabled on all your clients? Does the printer itself have a TCP/IP set-up?
If so subnet mask must be configured just like all the other machines.
Hope this helps,
Pariah
