I have a re-install of a server that had drive failure. The test
workstation was removed from the domain and then re-attached after the
server was up and running. I've set up the shares in the server, but
can't see them in the workstations. If I go to \\servername in
Windows Explore, I only see the My Documents Backup and Users
folders. If I go to \\192.168.1.11, the server's ip address, I get
the expected shared folders.

I think I've seen this before but I just can remember where. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Bernie

Probably due to DNS problems. You want to include only your internal DNS
server IP, not any external ones, in your IP settings....and you should run
ipconfig /registerdns on the ailing server.
