Well done...
Do you have a DHCP server in house? If so, you can have those address
dished out at the same time as the IP address info...
This makes sense, because of how Network Browsing works:
1. Machines fight over who will be the master browser. The highest
Operating System wins, absent any reg settings to prevent it.
2. If a WINS server exists, the new master browser adds entries to the WINS
database to say "I am the master browser"
3a. When a client browses the network, if there is no WINS server, it makes
a broadcast that says "Hey, who is a Master Browser" and when the master
browser answers (if at all) it returns the browse list.
3b. If there is a WINS server, it queries the WINS server and says "Tell me
who the master browser is" and gets it's IP address. Then the client
connects to that IP address and retrieves the browse list.
It appears as though the Win2K machine, when powered up, became the master
browser. But it had no WINS entries, so did not register itself (or the
fact that it was the master browser) in WINS. When a client (who DOES have
WINS entries) tries to browse the network, it asks the WINS server for the
IP address of the Browse Master. But because the Win2K machine did not
register, the client gets back the IP address of the OLD master browser.
The client contacts that IP address, and attempts to retrieve a browse list.
But because the IP address is not the Master Browser, the machine
essentially says "Sorry, I'm not who you are looking for."
The client then fails.
Clear as mud, huh?

To give an answer to this post (which I figured out on my own), I went into
the My Network Places, right-clicked on the Local Area Connection and went
to properties. Then went into the TCP/IP properties and went to the
"Advanced" button. Clicked the WINS Tab, and then entered the two WINS
servers on our network. I then rebooted the machine after both WINS Servers
had been added. When the computer finally loaded back to the desktop, I was
able to browse the entire network. Hope this post will help someone else in
need.

Hehe... I was talking to some techs from another company and said "the NIC
is... blah blah". They looked at each other with big eyes and said "NIC"
Like I passed their proficiency test or something. =]

Picky picky...
I guess we all have our pet peeves. I have two...
1. People who use the term "whole nother" - It is either "Whole Other" or
"Another Whole"
2. People who use the term "NIC Card" - Expand it... it turns into "Network
Interface Card Card"
Bored Ray?
