Cannot see other computers

First, this post replaces my last post... sorry to
everyone about the that.
-----
-> I have a very small network: Windows Server 2003, one
Windows XP Pro client, one networked Lexmark T634 printer.

-> From the server, I can ping both the workstation and
the printer.

-> From the workstation, I can ping the printer, but not
the server.

-> I am unable to see any of the shared resources on the
workstation from the server (there is one share on the
workstation).

-> I am unable to see any of the shared resources on the
server from the workstation (there are three shares on the
server).

-> The server is setup with two network adapters, one for
the LAN and one for the Internet. RRAS is setup to allow
the workstation to access the internet through the
server. (This works just fine!).

-> The server is running DHCP, and the scope is
192.168.1.101 through 192.168.1.150. The workstation is
picking up the IP address just fine. IPconfig /all shows
no problems here.

===>>> Can anyone point me in the right direction on what
to check to get my client and server computers to see each
others shares and to be able to ping the server from the
workstation?

Thanks,
Brian Beckers

On the Server go to Control Panel and double click Network Connections.
Click on Advanced and select Advanced Settings. Make sure that the Local
Area Connection for the LAN is at the top of the binding order.

Make sure that the Internet Connection Firewall is not configured on the XP
machine or either adapter on the Server. The only firewall should be the
basic firewall on the Internet connection in RRAS NAT.

If the Server is a domain controller, it must point only to itself for DNS
and the XP machine must also use it for primary DNS.
