Ghosting can be tricky unless done correctly. Let me understand what you are
saying, Did you ghost two Windows 2000 domain controllers and stored the
image somewhere and then put those images on those two new servers? Or did
you Ghost one of them over?

If so, are these two new servers on the same network as the original domain
controllers? If so, are all four up and running on the same network? If so,
did you change the IP addresses of the servers you ghosted over too?

Or are they in a separate test or lab network? Or are they replacement
servers? If replacement servers, did you take the original ones offline?

If both servers have been ghosted over, then I am to assume at least one of
them is running DNS. If on a test network away from the production network,
make sure you are pointing to the domain controller that has DNS installed
on it for it's DNS IP address in the network card properties.

Browsing is based on NetBIOS functionality and not DNS. Curious, can you
ping the servers by their FQDN (server01.server.dr and server02.server.dr)?
