I'm running a Windows SBS 2003 domain with ms xp pro clients. I have
shares on the domain located on the server machine. The domain name is
tmfm and the server machine name is tmfm1. Most clients on the network
can access the shares by the following path, \\tmfm1. All shares a
user has permissions on are available via this path.

The problem comes into play on only two of our clients. When \\tmfm1
is opened in explorer, the regular shares are not visible. Instead
"Users Shared Folders" and "Users" display as the only 2 shares (16+
shares should be available). The problem can be fixed by typing in the
fully qualified domain name, tmfm1.tmfm.local. Once this is done, all
shares are visible on the two machines that were having issues.

To make matters worse, at times the troubled machines will actually
start seeing the shares temporarily with just \\tmfm1.

We have checked ip info on the client machines, and everything is as
it should be. We have tried deleting the WINS entries on the server
for the troubled machines. One of the machines startedresolvingafter
this, but then stopped after sometime.

Any ideas?

Thank You.

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from your server & a problem client,
clearly identifying which is which.
