Visibility of the system in Windoze Network Neighbourhood depends on
correctly configuring the domain - and even then is erratic.  It also
depends on NetServer being started.  You can usually locate the system by
doing a Find Computer.  You will need to know the NetServer name, which is
usually the system name prefixed by a Q, although NetServer supports an
attribute that if set will allow the system name to be used also.  OpsNav
will show you the attributes and allow you to start it -- or you could use
our ONcmd facility to do it directly from the command line.  For example:

                         Display SMB Server Attributes
                                                             System:
