Network Places - Windows
Is there a secret I don't know about in getting a device which has been joined to a domain, has both forward and reverse DNS records setup correctly, to actually show up in network places? I'm trying to navigate via Network Places and I see all my other devices, but not the one I need to attach too.

What operating system is on the client, server, machine that is not showing?
If the device is not on the same subnet you are on, it won't appear. Network places only shows you devices on the local subnet because it depends on broadcasts. If you are on the same subnet, the browser service may be stopped.

Yes, I normally use it that way by typing in UNC path. However, I'm using a program called FolderClone where you can clone network folders. You setup tasks pretty easily, but the problem is, you can't type in the UNC path.....it only allows you to Browse, and the only way at that point is to browse to network places. The short way around that though is to map a drive on my PC to the target folder, and then browse to my mapped drive and do it that way. So, I have a work around, but prefer not to do it that way. Oh well, thanks for your help.
