Default Server not in My Network Places
When I open my network places, I am not seeing my one of my Windows 2003 servers. Any Ideas on why this is happening? Any help would be appriciated.

The funny thing is, I can browse the files etc... using the run command.

If I remember correctly My Network places uses Netbios name resolution. If your server isn't configured to use Netbios then it wont appear within Network Places.

Also, are you able to ping the IP of the server?
