Hello,

I have an annoying problem with the computers of the domain sometimes not
showing up when browsing the domain in the explorer. The computers are
online and I can ping them or find them if I do a search. Is this anomaly a
normal behavior of windows or have I configured the server incorrectly?

I forgot to mention that this is happening when browsing the domain from a
client. It might be true for the server aswell but I haven't seen it so far.

hi,
had the same problem when our server was running win nt server several
years ago. i thought that it was because of some trust settings. after
we upgraded to win2k3 server several years ago i checked the ip address
of some clients and found outthat they were on a different IP group.

192.168.1.x
and
192.168.10.x

so there were 4 computers bought at the same time and the administrator
then assigned the 192.168.10.x to these 4 client. when he was replaced
with another lan administrator and we bought another set of computers
he assigned the 192.168.1.x.

the 4 computers could see the server but could not see the other
computers in the domain. when we changed all the clients to the
192.168.0.x then it solved the problem.

Tanks for the suggestion, but all the computers are in the 192.168.0.x
range.
