HELP?

Can someone tell me what need to be done to see why I'm
not seeing the w2k workstation on Network Place? The
user can logon and see everything on the network but know
one else can see her workstation. It just happen today
before everyone can see her workstation through network
place and now we can't see her at all?

Step was taken:
remove her workstation from the network and join her
back in? still didn't work
rename her computer name and still can't see her
workstation.

Are you using WINS?
If not you should. WINS is easy, and is much better at populating Network
Places than relying on NetBIOS broadcasts.
Check that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled (on the WINS tab in TCP/IP
properties) on her workstation, or whatever Protocol it is that you are
using that supports NetBIOS broadcasts.

OK, so what about the NetBIOS over TCP/IP setting I recommended you check?

- Check the user workstation and made sure that
the advance tap show that the following is selected.
Check mark on Enable LMhosts lookup
Check on Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Restart the computer and still doesnt show on my
network place.

- I even rebooted the PDC server and still can't see
the user workstation.

- The user has no problem login into the system and she
can see everyone else and share any network drive.

- I try to use NET USE /Delete and that didn't work.
