By "see" I assume you mean that the workstation cannot see the server in Network Neighborhood? Assuming this, check the following, all on the problem workstation:

On the identification tab in properties of Net Neighborhood, that the workgroup name is the same as the domain name and there are no spaces in it.

Make sure that the machine still has the right protocol. If it's TCP/IP, make sure that the TCP/ip address is set according to your setup... ie: obtain an address or a static address, whichever. If it's static, have you assigned a WINS server?

Can you access the server from this workstation if PcAnywhere is not loaded in memory?

Protocol and workgroup names are the most common issues. Good Luck

First of all, check it out if PC Anyware agent is running on the problem server. Look through Event Log records if there were any errors reported in System & Application logs. Then you may want to use NT Server Manager to view Services running on the problem server, note that "Server" service must be running to serve network users' requests. If that woudn't help, try to ping your server to verify that TCP/IP stack is installed and running. At last, verify that NICs & network cables on the problem server are working properly. Make replacements if necessary.
