Server not showing in Network Neighborhood

[bdoub1eu]

From network neighborhood, I can see all clients/workstations on the network except one server at a remote site. I can ping the server, I can get to the server by typing \\servername in the start/run line, and I can get into the server by using RadMin (remote software like PC anywhere) so I know the server is on the network and can communicate...I just noticed this yesterday so I don't know how long it has been missing from Network Neighborhood...

Win2K envrionment with xp and win2k machines...Thanks in advance!

I assume that you are using DNS for name resolution on your network. What are the TCP/IP Settings on this Server ...like Prefered DNS Server and WINS ? Sometime if this information is not correct the server will not show up in the network Neighborhood. If it used DNS for name resolution .. Try IPCONFIG / FLUSHDNS. This will re register this server in DNS.

Good Luck!

Install WINS or if not use LMHOSTS files.
