net view, a few will not

[woof]

Have a few 2k boxes that do not appear in 'net view' browse list.

I've done a tcp and client properties comparison between a does and a don't,
and can't see anything different.

Tcp is dhcp. I can ping the names of the don'ts fine.
All members of the same domain ... etc.

Which one of the uS switches did I pull by mistake?

Thanks for any ideas.

quoted form http://www.ChicagoTech.net

"There are no entries on the list"

Symptom: when using net view \\remotecomputer command, you may receive
"There are no entries on the list". And you may have a problem to access the
remote computer.

Resolution: 1) If there are no file or print shares on the computer, the net
view command displays a "There are no entries in the list" message. So, make
sure there are file or print shares on the computer. Or to use net share
command to check sharing status.
2) Make sure no firewall running because the firewall may block sharing.
3) Make sure client for ms network is enabled.

This PC has some problems. Everything SEEMS to work ok but
will not appear on the net view browse list (explore empty too).
Tried to 'reset' the account by:
removed from the domain (moved to a work group); rebooted.
renamed; rebooted
joined to the domain; rebooted.

The PC appears in the ad; can be managed; pinged, mS WMI browser fails
to connect. Users can log into the domain.

The PC has shares c$, admin$ ... uS client is installed; no firewall

Here are the system event log entries of interest.

Computer:RAY-WK00297
Description:
The system failed to register network adapter with settings:

Adapter Name : {2F24EE77-7D16-4CFA-9C0F-6C66E043D9AD}
Host Name : ray-wk00297
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : pmtr.net
DNS server list :
10.192.47.11, 172.19.101.1
Sent update to server : 10.192.47.11
IP Address(es) :
10.192.47.196

The reason it could not register was because the
DNS server refused the dynamic update request.
This could happen for the following reasons:
(a) current DNS update policies do not allow this
computer to update the DNS domain name configured
for this adapter, or (b) the authoritative DNS
server for this DNS domain name does not support
the DNS dynamic update protocol.

To register a DNS host (A) resource record using
the specific DNS domain name for this adapter,
contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
