System not displayed in network neighborhood

I have a user with XP SP2 on his laptop. We are using a W2k3 domain. His
laptop is not displayed on Network Neighborhood even though I can ping it. I
uninstalled and reinstalled his file & printer sharing in his network
connection. His laptop shows up in DNS with the correct IP address however I
notice in WINS it only shows up in one of the WINS servers and not both. It
does not show up when I do a net view. All of his network settings look
normal. What could be keeping his laptop from being displayed in network
neighborhood?

Borwstat.exe may give you more details.

Hello Ron,

Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled?

network properties>TCP/IP>advanced>WINS>enable netbios over TCP
