Can't see one server, users can't print

I have 2 locations. There is one server (Server 2000) at location B. It crashed and I had to reinstall the operation system and lost all my settings. The server is up and running, users can access it but not print. I can remote access it from location A and print.

I cannot see it on the network at location A. I can ping it.

Location A and B are connected via a PNP T1. It is shared voice and data.

Any ideas?
 
Sound like you may have two problems;

- Users in location A cannot see the server although they can ping it so you are possibly having name resolution problems (do you use WINS or DNS?). Also make sure that File+Print sharing and Client from MS Networks are installed for your server network card (in case they are not able to access at a share level)
- As for the printing issue, have you re-enabled printer sharing for the printers on that server?
