Can the W2K server see the workstations in the network neighborhood?
Most probably computer browser service is on in the workstation
unless turned off. If this the W2K server see the workstation, it is
the browsing in the server not updating. Check the event log for any
warnings, errors.
Try this: Shut down the computer browser service in the W2K server &
start the computer browser service in the W2K server. If this doesn't
work then do a cold boot. If failed, I'm lost.

Subject: [thelist] Windows 2000 server with NT workstation
Hello people,
<!-- Apologies to people who find this a long email -->
We have a compaq prolient network server that has Windows 2000 Server
installed.
We have 5 NT workstations used by our developers - everything has
been fine
until about 2 weeks ago.
Suddenly when clicking on NetWork Neigborhood nothing showed up - i
though i
might have a bug or something that has developed over time and
corrupted a
file somewhere - but no - this was not that case - now we have all 5
NT
workstations that occassionally lose the network neighborhood - you
can use
Find a computer to see the pc you want to connect to - but this isn't
great.
This has also started to happen on a couple of the Windows 98
machines we
have aswell.
I was wondering if anyone out there has come across this problem
before with
Windows 2000 Server supporting NT Workstations or has any clue why
this has
started to happen?
All the NT Workstations have the latest Service pack and have been
working
fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am at a loss and our
Network admin
guy is at a loss aswell - and theres no mention of this problem
anywhere on
the micorsoft support area.
Many thanks
Paul Backhouse
