Instance not showning up

Hello,
I have MSDE installed on the Win2003 server named 'server1' and it's
instance is called 'manufacturing' so it's name should be (
server1\manufacturing ). That is the only place SQL is installed on the
network. Then there are four XP SP2 workstations that connect to the
databases on
(server1\manufacturing). Three of the workstations see the
(server1\manufacturing ) when they look at available SQL instances. The
fourth system , when looking for available SQL instances, sees (server1) but
without the instance name (manufacturing).
What would cause other system to see the SQL instance fine but one system to
only see the //servername and not the last part of the instance?
Any help really appreciated!Christopher Knapp wrote:

Can this PC connect to the server, despite no "seeing" it in whatever
utility you are using to browse for available servers?

Does that mean it's working properly or is not working properly?
