Sorry, if my response was hard to understand for you.
Computer borwsing uses NetBIOS protocol and broadcasts for completing the
list of computers in your "Network Neighbourhood". In most of cases,
enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enough to start network browsing. When you
enabled this protocol on your Win2003 server, you had to wait some time
because of Master Browser election procedure, wich was started in that
moment. If your browsing is still failng, can you post here "ipconfig /all"
and "nbtstat -n" results from your server.
Hope my english was clear enough.
