The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently availiable

I have been struggling w/ this one and have found no answers on the
Internet.

Server 2003 (home office) Windows 2000 server (remote office). Not
exactly sure when this problem started whether it begin before two (2)
Vista machines were added to the network. Mixed environment of XP,
W2K, and Vista pcs. I already had all pcs mapped to either server w/
no error messages....could map drives all day long between both
offices. Now I can't create any new mapped drives from either office.

I'm not sure if Vista is the problem because of this. User is getting
a new pc. Has old XP machine being upgraded and still using XP. Drives
are mapped and you can map a drive to the remote office just fine
prior to replacement. Replace pc and try to map a drive to the remote
office......when browsing for a folder the remote office server will
either not show up or does show up but you cannot "open" it to access
any folders or you finally get an error message as follows.....

Remote server is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
the network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permission.

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

I went to an older pc here in the home office while I was typing this
and the pc will show the remote office server and let me map a drive
to it. I have a new pc sitting beside me that will not see the remote
server. I was talking to a user in the remote office and I was going
to help them map a drive. They already had a mapped drive to the home
server. Now they cannot see the home server nor map a drive and then
gets the error message. It can't be a permission problem because they
already have a drive mapped to the home server and can access it all
they want....

Any clues?

TIA!!
