On NT4 network, workstations can see each other and the server, then a half hour later they cannot see each other, but are still able to ping each other and the server.

They are using TCP/IP as their protocol and a Switch.

Any suggestions as to what could be the problem would be appreciated.

your dns and wins database could be corrupted. Set both to allow dynamic updates. The workstations look at wins for network browseing. Check also your dhcp settings to see if it is handing out the correct wins/dns addresses.

Check master browser settings on each WS. This may happen if some WS tries to get master browser privileges for itself.

Check also WINS server.
