Thanks Douglas,

I have double checked the DHCP server on that site and it is configured 
correctly (and the same as that on the working site).

I have also checked the WINS server and that is listing all the PCs in the 
(non-working) site correctly.

Any ideas?

Could this be a WINS Server issue?

I think the computers that show up in Network Neighborhood get there from
the Browser service and that gets its names from the WINS server.

Maybe the computers in the segment that is not showing up have an incorrect
WINS server listed or have none listed.  They could be getting this
information from the DHCP server or it could be hard coded into the TCP/IP
configuration of the computers.

Or the WINS server on that segment may not be working correctly or there is
none in existence.

Network Places.


We have 2 remote sites, both with an identical connection (i.e. same link,
same router, same firewall, same basic config, etc).  The issue I have is
that for one of the sites none of the PC's are appearing in either Network
Neighbourhood or My Network Places in Head Office.   All the PC's are
appearing locally and the other regional office.  The PCs are missing from
the NN/MNP on all the PC's and servers have I have checked from head office.
Other than being missing from the list nothing else is affected, i.e. the
full range of services are working from and to the regional office.

This wasn't always the case, I am sure they were all listed not that long
ago.  Nothing (that I am aware of) has changed in the network configuration.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve
