I've installed multiple Windows Server 2003 servers. All have immediately
displayed in Entire Network. One particular machine refuses to show. Have
checked all DNS settings, netbios over TCPIP - nothing seems different than
any other install. Can anyone offer something I can check? I'm out of options
at this point...

Hello rafoszcz,

Is it in a different subnet located? Then you need a WINS server in each
subnet. Can be that not all machines are displayed in network neighbourhood.

Best regards

A single subnet - WINS server configured on the single 2003 SMB server. That
isn't it but thanks...

I know this sounds silly but.... is there an entry for the 2003 SMB server
in WINS?

Can you browse the SMB server from Windows Explorer; \\nameOfSMBserver
Are there shares on it?

I am having the same problem, but with Windows 2000 server. I have put
Norton AV on it and I could see it on the network, but when I also combined
IIS with it, I no longer see it on the network. Any suggestions?
