Windows 2003 Server clients not able to connect?

I work in a small office connected to a 2003 Server domain. Two workstations can join the domain, but cannot connect to its shared folders. DHCP appears to be working correctly as every other workstation can connect fine. I'd really appreciate any help troubleshooting the problem. My Network Places does not recognize domain folders, but when I connect through Run and the server IP they can connect.

The workstations connect through IP/ share, but not through My Network Places. Could it be a DNS issue? I don't understand why basically they're all setup the same going into this new server from the old, but only a few don't seem to connect. Each computer is in Active Directory, and their DHCP pointer matches their IP, and reference in DNS matches...

Make sure you're signing on to the workstations using an account that exists on the domain - one that has rights to the shares you're trying to connect to.

sounds strange...
I'd make sure they're all looking at the same DNS, possibly disable DHCP and set them all up on static IP and reconfig your router.
Make sure the computers are appearing correctly in your active directory computer name list.
If you run the DNS feature on the server have all of the workstations point at that machine by default.
Really running static will eliminate variables for you, although DHCP can be functional.
