Vista - Computer isn't visible

We have multiple computers that are part of a domain. One computer doesn't
show up in Windows Explorer. Why-what do I need to do?

Ken, we need a little more info first..

When you say 'explorer' I assume you mean Network (Center on Vista, Places
on XP)?

What computers are not showing up? Vista or XP?

Might want to check DNS and make sure that there are entries in the Look
Zone for the missing systems also.

I'm not a technical person. Where do I look for those DNS addresses?

Hmm.. Well, since you are running a Domain, you have a Domain Controller.
Most Admins will install the DNS server on top of the DC, so that is where
you look first. It will be under Start > Administrative Tools > DNS

Then take a look at your Forward Lookup Zone. All computers that are joined
to a Domain will have a record there indicating the Name and IpAddress where
it can be reached. DNS provides name resolution (to IPAddress) so other
computers can find the one they need to reach.

Actually, I am a little surprised that you are running a Domain without
someone to manage it. Or was this left up to you?
