Ken, we need a little more info first..
When you say 'explorer' I assume you mean Network (Center on Vista, Places on XP)? What computers are not showing up? Vista or XP? Might want to check DNS and make sure that there are entries in the Look Zone for the missing systems also. -- FE Wm P MVP Microsoft Networking MCP | CCNA | A+ "Ken W" wrote: We have multiple computers that are part of a domain.

I'm not a technical person. Where do I look for those DNS addresses?

Hmm.. Well, since you are running a Domain, you have a Domain Controller.
Most Admins will install the DNS server on top of the DC, so that is where you look first. It will be under Start Administrative Tools DNS Then take a look at your Forward Lookup Zone. All computers that are joined to a Domain will have a record there indicating the Name and IpAddress where it can be reached. DNS provides name resolution (to IPAddress) so other computers can find the one they need to reach. Actually, I am a little surprised that you are running a Domain without someone to manage it. Or was this left up to you?  -- FE Wm P MVP Microsoft Networking MCP | CCNA | A+ "Ken W" wrote: I'm not a technical person. Where do I look for those DNS addresses?
