I've got a machine that won't show when you list the domain. Everyother
machine on the network shows up, but this one. If I enter the \\machine_name
it will popin the list for that once. But it's going if I look again. I've
looked in DNS and it seems to be correctly list. I've looked in WINS and it
is correct there as well. It is a static IP address on a Windows 2000
Server. DNS & WINS are running on a different server. Any ideas?
 
Is it fully patched? Anything in the eventlogs? Is Netbios over TCP/IP
enabled?
 
Fully Patched, Nothing in the eventlogs. NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled and
it is set to Register its connection with DNS.

I guess I should have said this before... but a few days ago we changed it
from DHCP to a static IP. As DHCP is was showing in the list and now as a
static IP it's not.
 
You won't see the static IP's in DHCP. Why did you switch from dynamic?
 
I understand I won't see the static IP address in DHCP... that wasn't what I
was saying. I was saying that when the server was getting its IP address
from DHCP it was showing in Network Places, but now that it has been
assigned a static IP it no longer shows in Network Places.

I gave it a static IP as it is a server and I need to configure its IP
address to different things in our firewall, therefore I can't have the IP
address changing.
 
A server indeed would need a static IP. Check if File and Printersharing is
enabled.
 
Got it working, but what I had to do is change the IP address to the next
one... from 10.0.0.11 to 10.0.0.12. Then it worked. So i changed it back
and then 10.0.0.11 worked. I don't know what get messed up with DNS or WINS
but I guess something did.
