Shared folders not showing up in My Network Places - Entire Network

Certain workstations cannot see shared folders on the server.  They can see the server and can connect to the IP (192.168.1.4/share) but when going through My Network Places nothing appears when you click the server.  I can't figure it out.  They showed up until last week when they disappeared.

When I put in \\server\share it shows the folder.  So both the IP address and the server name bring up the folders.

check the share for local access.
In "my network places", windows places shortcuts to locations you have visited recently. Don't rely on those, they sometimes get broken. Just put in a new shortcut to \\server\share.

The problem with that is, most folks in the office know how to get to shared items through my network places and don't understand what they're doing.  This past week, items they haven't shortcutted, Ive had to go to their computers to connect through run.
