Can't see other computers/nodes on network!

I can't see or find other computers on the network at all and I have File and
Printer Sharing turned on?

Also, I'm running Windows Server 2003 and don't see how to create a group
network like with other Windows OS's, there is no "Create Home or Office
Network" option, etc. I'm assuming that as this is Windows Server the
computer name would be the workgroup correct?

No. The workgroup name must be different from all computer names, all
computers should by joined to the same workgroup, and all computer names
must be unique. In Windows Server 2003 you can change the computer name and
workgroup name in System Properties, Computer Name tab. No wizard is
necessary.

Nope, nothing anywhere says Workgroup, it does in Windows XP though and I can
create a workgroup using that on another machine, but I still can't see any
machines on network aside from the machine names themselves alone.

All the computers have a different name.

How can I create a workgroup on Windows Server 2003 and/or have it see the
other machines, since there is no wizard, there is no obvious "hello, click
here to say I'm the main server, everyone else is a client."

What happens when you click the Change button - or are you saying that you
do not have a Computer name tab?

Clicking Change button pops up a warning that says "To continue renaming this
domain controller click OK."

Let's take this from the top so we know what we're working with. Are you
working in a Windows Domain (did one exits and you joined it or did your
create one when you set up this server)?

Run an IPCONFIG /all on your server and on a workstation your having
problems with and let's see what the basic network settings are?

If you open a command prompt Start->Run-> type "cmd" and press <OK> then you
can run commands in that window.

Which server in your network is your DNS server, is it the same one listed
in the IPCONFIG /ALL?

Do you have a valid IP address, if you have something like 169.n.n.n, then
you aren't getting a valid IP address and we can start there.

On the workstation can you ping the server by hostname and by IP address?

On the server can you ping the workstation by hostname and by IP address?

Can you browse the Internet from both the server and the workstation?
Something like www.microsoft.com or www.google.com?

Your Windows Server 2003 machine is an Active Directory domain controller
and therefore, cannot be joined to a workgroup. If your clients are running
XP Pro, they can join the domain. If your clients are XP Home, they cannot
join the domain; however, they should be able to browse if you change their
workgroup to the NetBIOS name of the Active Directory domain - eg. NetBIOS
name of mydomain.com = mydomain.

Let's take this from the top so we know what we're working with. Are you
working in a Windows Domain (did one exits and you joined it or did your
create one when you set up this server)?
I created a domain controller when I setup the server.

In system properties full computer name says: knight-tech.knight-tech2

Domain says: KNIGHT-TECH2

Run an IPCONFIG /all on your server and on a workstation your having

Which server in your network is your DNS server, is it the same one listed
in the IPCONFIG /ALL?
The MAIN SERVER.

Modem: 192.168.0.1
Router: 192.168.0.10

Router handles DNS Resolving.

Do you have a valid IP address, if you have something like 169.n.n.n, then
you aren't getting a valid IP address and we can start there.
All addresses seem valid, I'm running internet services, eg website, with no
problems, all machines can connect to services on main server and/or hosted
on clients.

On the workstation can you ping the server by hostname and by IP address?
Yes

On the server can you ping the workstation by hostname and by IP address?
Yes

Can you browse the Internet from both the server and the workstation?
Something like www.microsoft.com or www.google.com?
Yes

Doug I'm not following you on that because this is the server, I'm not trying
to have it join a workgroup I'm trying to have it host one.

Most the time system requirements are off when displayed, for instance
something that says minimum memory is 512 when it actually only requires 40 -
128.

The windows networking is supposed to work together fairly well, in the
networking samples I've seen say you can connect win 98 on up machine to any
windows workgroup so it should be fairly universal.

The other machines are Windows Home, I actually get better performance,
security, and convenience using Home when the service packs are installed,
I've noticed it only takes me minutes to accomplish what is taking me days or
weeks with Windows Server, I'm unhappy with Windows Server 2003 so far as I
keep having to seek answers to configuration related problems, and it doesn't
provide the kind of hardware/software support I'd expect it too.

Ok, the first thing I see is that the server isn't using the same DNS server
as the workstation, Server is using 127.0.0.1 and the workstation is using
192.168.0.10. Now I'm guessing that the reason you can still browse the
Internet on the server is that during the domain setup it setup DNS on the
server itself and it's probably configured to forward to either 192.168.0.10
or something on the Internet.


Is the workstation a member of the same domain as the server (knight-tech2)?

Do you have 2 NICs in the server by any chance, if not then no big deal?

You can also probable ping and get some degree of name resolution b/c you're
on a flat LAN meaning that everything on the 192.168.0.0/24 network can
broadcast for NetBIOS and they will get a response b/c there isn't anything
to stop them. Not a bad thing but not ideal either.

In general terms the way this should work is that your server(s) provide
pretty much all your network services except (switching, routing (unless your
using ISA or RRAS)), so you want to configure DNS, DHCP (and WINS if you
really need it, if you are AD and W2K or higher you shouldn't need WINS). So
a client gets DHCP from the server and the DHCP info should include:

1) Default GW
2) DNS Server

Now I like to include a few extras like domain name, primary DNS suffix and
NTP; these are not required but often handy to have around. Additionally, I
configure DHCP to register ALL clients with DNS regardless of whether or not
they request it. This keeps my DNS Zones up to date and makes sure MMC for
remote management work as expected. In order for this to work you also need
to make sure you create a reverse lookup zone for your LAN, again not
required but a good practice.

So a client comes on the network it broadcasts for a DHCP server and your
server answers, your clients all get consistent info from your windows server
and that is the beginning of the conversation.

After that you should be able to browse the Network Neighborhood or type a
UNC path on a client and see the resource on the server.

************************************************** ***************
If you are running any client side firewalls i.e. XPSP2 and Server SP1 you
may need to make sure you are allowing File and Print Sharing. A lot of
folks don't like the new MS client side FW, I do, you've got to do a little
more work to get them configured correctly but if we'd been using them 3
years ago we'd have saved a lot of time and more money than I can count from
cleaning up from NIMBDA, Code Red, etc.

That should get you working; if not we'll take a look at some other things.
Unless you created any shares on the server you should see 3 by default:

1) Netlogon
2) Sysvol
3) Scheduled Tasks

Try creating a shared printer or share a directory and see if you can see
that by browsing \\servername\
