The network at my office has started to show problems regarding WINS. Computers are mixed between XP Pro and 2000 Pro. We have a server running server2k, but it is currently not running any server services (eg. wins, dns, rras) and is not running a domain.
Anyways, depending on the 'mood' of the network, some computers do not show when the workgroup is pulled up from my network places. For instance, on Computer 1, I can connect to the server by pointing to \\server, but the server's name does show in the workgroup.
So, sometimes when I pull up the workgroup, 4 computers show. Sometimes its 10, sometimes 0, regardless of how many computers are actually connected. I do not know what is going on, but it is strange.
Any comments would be appreciated.
