domains not being displayed in network places

[Guest]

hi everyone...

im trying to configure two new domains, both running windows server 2003
standard edition (sp1) i have configured DNS (primary forward lookups and
secondary forward lookups) and the appropriate trusts properly (two way
external trusts.) I can log in to each from the other domain fine using
termincal services but i cannot get the domains to be displayed in network
places.
Are there some extra things I need to configure before this works?

Im pretty sure everything is set up right as i can ping both domains using
their netBIOS names only.

Any help would be great! thanks.
