Since all was well up to now, suggest you check logs on domain controller and bounce it. Then check all settings to be sure nothing just "disappeared".

Make sure you have installed Client for Microsoft Networks & File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks as services in your Local Area Connection properties.

Hope this helps !!!!!!

I would need some additional information before I can help to solve your question.
1. Can you ping to the Client form the Server or from the Server to the client using IP Address?
2. Ping using dns?
3. How many Server in the Domain? Is there any user which had the previlledge to add-in another Server into the domain.
4. Are you using DHCP?
5. What is the IP range you are using? Class A, B, Or C? or multicast?
4. List allt the cleint OS.

i can ping from both way,ihave only one server,i have static ip add. of range 172.16.5.0-254

Please don't install File and Print Sharing on the clients. This is a security hole and you don't need it if you aren't using it now. You have a browser master problem, provided your pings work. There is a resource kit utility that wil show you the browser master details in NT, maybe you can use this (just guessing). Otherwise, not sure without further info.
