Net View

We just set up Windows 2003 server on a AS/400 with a PC card in it. We also
still have a WinNT box that we are going to move the data to the 2003 and
retire the NT box. They have differnt domains. The question is before the
2003 box came, and when i was at a command prompt and typed Net View, i could
see all the PC's and servers on the network. Now when i do a net view all i
see is the servers. When i sign on to the 2003 domain, all i see there is
the servers attached to the 2003 domain, and again i can not see the 20 some
PC's on our network. I can use remote desktop and take control of them, i
can even use a \\pcname\c$ and see there HD's.....but when i do a net view,
they dont show up?
Any Ideas?

Sounds like WINS issue. Go to the WINS server to check the records. Do you have those 20 PCs?

Browstat should be in the support tools on the server CD.
