I'm assuming your network is using DNS for name resolution and that DHCP
is enabled as well.
Obtain your DNS server's IP address and manually enter it in Apple menu
--> System Preferences... --> Network --> (your network adapter) -->
TCP/IP --> DNS Servers. If this works then your DHCP server is not
properly handing out your DNS server's IP address to its clients. You
can either leave the address hard coded this way or preferably have your
administrator correct this.
If your network uses WINS instead of DNS for name resolution then you
can obtain your WINS server's IP address and enter it in the Directory
Access utility found in /Applications/Utilities. Double-click the SMB
entry and enter your WORKGROUP/DOMAIN name and WINS address here.
Also, when connecting to a Windows server from a Mac you should use the
form of "smb://servername" or "smb://servername/share" in your connect
string when connecting and not "\\servername".
Hope this helps! bill
