Our main Windows 2003 SBS server can’t be seen in network neighborhood.
If I Ping its name it \\servero2 I get this response
Ping request could not find host \\servero2. Please check the name and try again
If I ping one of its IP’s, it comes back OK

To map a drive or connect to a shared printer I have to go to Start, Run and type in \\Servero2 , hit enter, then choose items from the folder that opens. Right click to connect to a printer or right click to map a drive. Its this way for all computers in the network. We can see each others computers and an old 2000 Server which is now just a machine to remote into. But not the main server.
Is this a security thing?
Any ideas?
