Cannot See All Computers in My Network Places

[MetsFan]

All machines are Windows 2000 Professional. For some reason unknown to our IT department when we click on My Network Places we can only see 3 Computers, 2 of which are servers and the other machine we can see is a workstation. We can usually see the other 200+ machines on the network through My Network Places without a problem. We all see the same machines on different machines. Any reason why this would happen, and how do you fix it? BTW: PDC is running Windows NT 4.0.

Need more information. Are you running DHCP or DNS? Have any routers or subnets?

We are running DHCP. I just found that if I went into Local Area Connection settings and then clicked TCP/IP Properties, went to Advanced button and under WINS, I checked enable NetBios over TCP/Ip. The last selection had been checked originally (I never changed it before and it was working up until this point). I rebooted after the change and was then able to see all the servers and computers on the network. Any ideas.
