One Computer on the network is missing in Explorer's "My netwrok places"
Hi,
I have some computers, and a network based harddisk, in a local network behind a router.
For several months all has been fine.
Now, a server running Windows 2003 R2 (64 bit) suddenly is hiding.
It is not possible to see it anymore in:
My Network places
Entire Network
Microsoft Windows Network
Workgroup
I can ping it, no problem, and it is running fine and hosting web sites, no prob.
The only thing I can remember having done is to change the admin password on the computer that now is hiding, but how can that cause it to vanish from other computer's network list?
Is there a check list I could run through, to track down the cause?
