One server: Windows 2000 Server
Two clients: Both Windows XP Professional

Both users log onto the domain. Server can see both clients. Neither client can see the other nor the server. The Server can print to client's printer.

How do I make both client's see each other and how do I get the client without the printer to be able to print to the printer on the other client?

Thanks in advance.
 
how can they log onto the domain if they can't see the server? You need to check DNS settings. Also, are you using DHCP or static ip?
 
I have one Windows 2000 Server and 3 XP Pro clients. All client's can log onto the domain. Two clients cannot see the printer attached to the third client. When you do the normal install printer, the computer the printer is on shows up in the list, but when you click the + next to that computer, it shows the hour class for a couple minutes then nothing. No printer shows. The printer is shared, so that is not the problem.

I can now see all the computers on the domain from each client using explorer.
