My Network Places shows 0 objects in the domain.

[Guest]

I have a client on my Active Directory that shows 0 objects when I click on
the domain in the directory under My Network Places. I have another client
that sees all of the objects that should be visible. I've compared the
services that are automatic, manual, and disabled and see knwo services
stopped or disabled that would explain this problem.

Has anyone seen something like this before? I thought it might be DNS
related, but I can resolve hostnames and IP addresses just fine from each
client.

this can be a master browser (the computer that keep that list) related
problem. Get a copy of browstat utility (it should be in windows resource
kit) and run it from the problematic computer to see what computer master
browser it's using.

Thanks for the suggestion, but browstat and browcon don't report any errors.
I'm really perplexed by this because now that I know the problem exists some
servers using the same MB work and others don't.

I'm beginning to think that I will need to open a support incident ticket
with Microsoft. This is just too weird!

Any errors in the clients event log?

Post them here if so.

This is usually a NetBIOS problem. I would concentrate on that.
