Server 2003 Not Visible on Network and Shares not Accessible
Server 2003 R2, sp2. Nobody can see this machine on the network or get to any of its shares, even though everyone can ping it by name and remote desktop into it by name.
Other computers are running Vista and Windows 7 and they can all see each other.

The Server2003 machine name is SRV3. It's IP address is 192.168.222.10.
All of this works from any of the other machines on the network:
ping SRV3
ping 192.168.222.10
Remote Desktop into SRV3
Remote Desktop into 192.168.222.10
But none of this works from any of the other machines on the network:
net view \\SRV3
net view \\192.168.222.10
net use x: \\SRV3\share
net use x: \\192.168.222.10\share
All machines are on a domain and SRV3 successfully joined the domain but the domain controller cannot see any of the shares on SRV3.

Thanks, Geordie, for your suggestion.
But the answer is yes, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is already installed and checked on the server and on the client trying to connect to the share.

My problem was Symantec Endpoint Network Access Control. But thanks for your help, everyone. I really appreciate it.
Gateguard,
Was this problem sporadic? I am having this problem only occassionally. Once every 4-6 days. A reboot fixes the problem.

I assume that you mean that when you go to Network Places you cannot see the server or it's shares? Is the Computer Browser service running on the server? If you go to the DOS prompt on any workstation and run net view \\[server name] where [server name] is the name of your windows 2003 server, do you get a list of available shares? Is the Windows 2003 Server in the same workgroup as the other machines?
