Netbios 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.

Andrew

That is odd. Are all machines set up to use WINS? Does the WINS server
in subnet "B" have an entry for <domainname 1B> ?
