Can't Browse the 2008 Domain

New installation of Server 2008. The network is not connected to the
internet because the client has no internet. Three brand new computers on
the domain running Windows XP SP3. Quarterhorse is the Domain controller.
Each machine, Win, Place, and Show, are on the domain. DNS points to
Quarterhorse and is installed on Quarterhorse. DHCP is running and giving
out IP addresses.

When I browse the network from Quarterhorse, it only shows Quarterhorse.
On the XP machines, when I browse the network, it browses by going to Entire
Network, Microsoft Windows Network, and I can see the domain name. But when
I click on the domain name, it says that the domain is not accessible.

I can map a drive and attach to the files on Quarterhorse, but I cannot
browse to the drives.

Please help!

If running net view in the DC, do you receive system error? Or this search
result may help.

I would check that

1. Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled on the server's NIC.
2. The computer browser service is enabled and started on the server.
