OK, I have set up the WINS servers to replicate (Push/Pull) with each other
and I can see all computer names listed on both sites in WINS. However, site
a cannot see systems on site b. From site a a unc path can be established to
the dc server on site b only. From site b a unc path can be established to
the dc server, domain pc's and workgroup pc's. I can ping by name and ip
address from site b to site a. I cannot ping by ip or name from site a to
domain pc's or workgroup pc's only to the dc. Although this is true it will
give the correct ip when i ping by name from site a to a pc on site b I
receive Request timed out from my ping. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks for your posts.
