network neightbourhood browsing problems

[Brenden Roche]

I have a w2k domain with AD. 2 servers (both dcs) and one workstation have
static ips. 20 or so workstations have dchp ips from one of the dcs that is
also a dns server. the three static ip machines are the only ones that
consistently appear under the domain when a user browses the network. (All
file and print shares are fine and are mapped with a logon bat which uses
unc naming to map drives etc.)

any suggestions how to trouble shoot

TIA

Check that the machines assigned static addresses have the correct DNS
suffix - and that they point only to the AD-integrated DNS server for DNS in
their IP properties. You can do ipconfig /all from a computer that works and
one that doesn't and compare them.

Thanks.

All workstations all have their DNS pointing to the correct AD/DNS server.
the ipconfig /all does not seem to illustrate and differences. what next?
any suggestions?

TIA
