XP and 2k server issue!

Here's my issue. I have some XP Pro boxes on my domain and
when I go to install the printer I can't browse the
server/directory for the printer. I can install the
printer via IP address but that's not how I initially had
it set up. The other issue is, if I want to make someone a
local admin to the machine I am unable to browse the
directory to add the person. Under location it will only
show the local machine and not my server. All the XP boxes
are doing this but the 2kPro boxes work just fine.

I've checked the knowledge base and it said that file and
print sharing needed to be installed. Uhhhhh.. yeah of
course :) Any other ideas? Oh yeah.. it also takes the XP
boxes forever to log on to the domain.

Much thanks in advance

Can you post your DNS settings on your workstations (ipconfig /all would
do). They must point to your domain DNS server. Verify, that you can resolve
your server records using nslookup.

Thanks.. now that you mentioned it I did notice the DNS
was pointing to the NS servers on the net. I'm pretty sure
I set up the DNS properly on the server so all the
machines should be pointing to it. Thanks again
