I assume you have already done this, but check all the obvious things - network cable at the pc, jack, hub.

Check to make sure it has an ip address (if you are using IP). Are you using Wins? Is it enabled or running?

1) check to make sure the server has a IP. Is the server running DHCP. If so make sure the clients are setup for this

2)Make sure the clients are setup to log into the proper domain.

3.) what are the roll of these three servers. One HAS to bea Primary Domain Controller than the other one a backup domain controller and hte last a stand alone.

4.) are your hubs working.
5.) Do your clients have the proper client software running.
