Hi,

I installed Win2003 server and 35 winXP client computers in my network.When
users want to browse network by "my network places", they have problem
because there is no computer icon there.It is not happening always,and
sometimes users can find computers easily with no problem.
I installed DNS server and do not use WINS.

I 'll appreciate any .

If they are on the same subnet you don't really need WINS. If not, you do.
It could be the Windows Firewall,

Configure your DNS servers to answer WINS (NetBIOS) responses.

Indeed. I saw the Windows Firewall get reset by a MS Update recently. The
default is on and blocking
