Computers no longer showing up in Network Neighberhood

Hello all,
My network is a Domain made up of XP workstations and Windows 2003 and 2000
Domain Servers. I have 3 2003 domain Servers and 1 2000 domain server.
I just upgraded my 2000 domain server to 2003. The domain level is still set
at 2000 Native. After upgrading the server I can no longer see any computers
in network neighborhood. I use DNS, I do not use WINS.
I have no problem connecting to computers throughout the network using the
computer name, so I'm confused as to what happened when I upgraded my last
2000 server. I'm sure someone here will know exactly what I need to look at
but I'm lost.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Jason

I would check the master browser using browstat.exe first.

What is the upgraded server called? Is it missing from that list?

Check that Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled on its NIC. (Advanced TCP/IP
settings).

From the problem machine open a dos prompt and run
net view. What do you see?
