When in my computer/network and trying to access a network computer by typeing the workstation name into the toolbar it doesnt show up. We get an error telling us windows cannot find the workstation,please try again and check the spelling howeverwe know that it is right. We can see 5 computers but we have 34 operating on the network.
Any ideas will be greatly aprieciated as this has been ongoing for a while.

Thanks

Workgroup or Domain?
What OS is on the computers?
Subnets?

'...typing the workstation name into the toolbar...' From where? You mean address bar?

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

We are on a domain
OS is XP Pro and the servers are SBS 2003
And we do have subnets
Yes the address bar from my computer is where we are trying to type in the workstation.

Hi

Thanks for the reply,
As security measures our computers have been set to disable file shareing but enableing them seems to show them on the network.

Thanks for your help.
