Servers missing when browsing the network

I have two Windows Server 2003 x64 that don't show up when browsing the network or by net view. Shares can be accessed via \\servername\sharename. The computer browser service is running.
Thanks
Jason

Is Windows Firewall enabled? You may be firewalling the connections
Also, did you disable Netbios broadcasts on the servers? This sounds like a definite issue with blocked communications. Check your TCP/IP settings.

The firewall is disabled. I've checked the TCP/IP settings half a dozen times. Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled.
