Q:
Server 2008 Network Connection
I cannot browse a local network from a new Windows Server 2008. Every other PC is XP Pro or Server 2003.

I can:
Ping another workstation
Browse the web
Connect via VNC (only by IP address, not name)

I cannot:
Ping this 2008 Server
Map a network drive
Browse the network

I have the server connected to a domain, I disabled IPv6, I have network discovery and file sharing ON, Windows Firewall is off.

Enable the IPv6 and see if it works after that.

Your DNS servers are not set on the server or your workstation. If you can ping and access VNC by IP address, but not by name you have a DNS issue. Test this by pinging to a remote machine by DNS name.

Thanks, I finally figured it out…it was an issue with Symantec network security.
