Netbios / Network Neighbourhood issue

Hello,

I have two subnets. Subnet "A" has two WIN2003 DC's, and a Win2003 member
server with WINS / DHCP installed.

Subnet "B" has a Win2000 member server with DCHP RELAY & WINS installed.

None of the servers are multi-homed.

All computers on both subnets belong to a single domain.

All computers on subnet "A" can view computers, via Net Neighbourhood / net
view, on BOTH subnets.

All computers on subnet "B" can ONLY view computers, via Net Neighbourhood /
net view, on subnet "B".

Push / Pull replication is setup between the two WINS servers on both
subnets. DB's are in sync.

TCP/IP is configured correctly on both subnets; computers on subnet "A" use
WINS server on that subnet & computers on subnet "B" use WINS server on
subnet "B".

On subnet "A" a DC is the Master Browser. On subnet "B" the Wins2000 member
server is the Master Browser (forced via registry - IsDomainMaster=TRUE)

Why are subnet "B" computers unable to view any computers from subnet "A"?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply!

There is no [1Bh] registered, for either of the Master Browsers, in either
WINS.

There is a [20h] entry for both Master Browsers.

Is it possble to manually register a [1Bh] entry?

Both servers have been restarted recently so I'm unsure as to why they
didn't register the entry manually.

Thanks.
