This has nothing to do with DNS. The list in My Network Places comes
from the computer browser service, which is an NT legacy application and
uses Netbios names, not DNS names.
First off, make sure that Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled on the server.
Look under the WINS tab in the advanced TCP/IP settings of the NIC
properties.
Have you made any changes to the DC lately? Enabling remote access on a
DC can upset the browser service.
