With much effort, I finally got a new client running XP Pro to join my
original 2000 Server domain, and I thought everything was wonderfull. My
problem began when I realized that I can't see any computer on the network,
and it won't allow me to access any resources on the network. I'm sure it's
something simple i'm overlooking. Any suggestions?

Evan,

This could be a simple browser conflict.

It could also be a DNS issue.

If no help yet, compare diagnostics for the problem computer with one or two
existing computers.

If the Windows firewall off or exception for File and Printer sharing
enabled? Can you ping the other computers? If you try to map with a net
use command what error code is returned?
