strange problem

[GrimR]

XP machine can connect to one server via ip address [\\192.168.0.2] and it shows the shares, if I use the UNC path [\\server] it doesn't show anything.
Sounds like DNS but if I connect to other servers or PC's via unc they all show up fine. This does not happen on other machines on the network.
Actions Taken
Reset TCP/IP
Reset winsock
Cleared nbtstat
arp but entries look fine
tried adding a entry in the hosts file.
added the domain DNS suffix to TCP/IP

any ideas

I fixed it, it turns out the user enabled offline folders, and status was set to offline.
