XP - W2000 LAN access troubles

[Tomas P.]

I have updated WinXP and suddenly I can not see printer
at W2000 server for printing. Printer is shared for
everybody and I have the same account at print server as
on my XP machine. My internet connection is working
properly and I am even able to see print server in the
LAN, but no printer. If I try to connect to the server
error message "Print server is not accessible" appears.
All other W2000 LAN PCs have no problems with our print
server.
Does anybody have an idea why I can not access our W2000
print server from XP? Thank you.
