Please start the computer browser service and give a try. You should also try disabling the firewall on the server in case if you are not able to to see the server after you start the service http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

Hello, proceed like Syed mentioned. Also, you can let your client computers point to your internal DNS server as primary DNS server and enable NetBIOS over TCP / IP on them. Once done, try again.
