Not able to log into Win2K server

[Guest]

I have a multihomed Win2K server.

NIC1 to corporate WAN - this side OK
NIC2 to small isolated LAN - this side PROBLEMS

Each NIC bound to a different subnet/IP addressing scheme.

The Win2K server is a member of the corporate domain.

The NT4 workstations are members of a Workgroup named "Workgroup." They can
ping the Win2K server. They cannot see the server when browsing the network
and cannot log into the server. Drives cannot be mapped by server name or IP
address.

I need to enable the NT4 workstations to see and log into the Win2K server.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

NT rely on WINS to resolve NetBIOS names whereas Win 200x use DNS.
Also, TCP/IP forwarding is by default disabled in Win 2000.
See

If you do not have WINS on the networks, consider putting the Win 200x
server-IP in the %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts file on the NT
machines.

Do let us know if this helps.

Thanks!

Thank you Desmond. Had a chance to implement some changes and your lmhosts
suggestion did the trick. I also tried to name the workgroup the same as the
pre-dot name of the domain to no avail.

I appreciate your assistance.

Have a great day.
