Can't View File Shares on 2008 Server From One Workstation

I have a server 2008 domain with many windows xp machines. I have one windows xp machine that when I try and browse to \\servername it shows no file shares. If i go to other machines it seems to work fine.

Offline file sharing isn't turned on.

Thanks!

when i try and browse to \\servername\fileshare i get

"Windows cannot find '\\servername\fileshare'. Check the spelling and try again, or try searching for the item by clicking the start button and then clicking search"

I Enabled Netbiox over tcp/ip and no luck

Did you try using an IP address as I suggested? ... Thinkpads_User

Try repairing TCP/IP. Here is a general guide, but you may need to get specific XP instructions:
