I have mulitple subnets, with Win2k/XP machines on each.
I need to be able to browse to workstations in the other
subnet. I have created all the subnets under AD sites and
services. I can access them, no sweat, but they do not
show up in My Network Places. When on one subnet I can
see all the PC's in that subnet and no others. It seems
that I can only browse workstations that are in the
subnet that I am browsing from.
What's the answer here?
Thanks
 
I have the same problem and its been doin my nut in for
ages, if you have any luck getting this problem sorted
please let me know.

AFAIK, To see devices in other subnets, you either have to have a WINS
server (and configure all clients to look at it) or put a "lmhosts"
file on each computer which lists all the computers and associated IP
addresses across the network. You also must be using NetBios over
TCP/IP (NetBT) as NetBEUI is not routable across subnets.

HTH,
John

Properly configured WINS or LMHosts files.
