Browsing issue in pure W2K network

I am unable to see computers on one subnet in my network
by browsing. I can map a drive, etc. I can do a search
for the specific name of a computer on this remote subnet
and "browse" that way. However, if I search for name with
a wildcard, it does not show up. The kicker is that on
the remote subnet I can browse the ENTIRE domain. The PDC
is on the subnet that cannot see the remote subnet via
browsing. I have tried all utils including browstat and
browcon and I cannot figure out why I can search for the
name exactly and locate it through Windows network but,
otherwise cannot see it. Any help is appreciated.

Is the registry key on the PDC isdomainMaster set to yes?
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\IsD
omainMaster)

Is the PDC multi Homed?

What was the out put from the browstat sta?
Do you have Team Nic Software installed on the PDC?
Do you have antiVirus software installed on the PDC?
Can the PDC see its Self and everyone else in the browse List?
