XP and Domain 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

what do you get if using net view \\servername? can you see the shared
printer?
