Nt & 2k domains

I have a domain problem, which I will do my best to explain.

We have a wan between 2 remote domains, one called Portsmouth, one called
York.

The Portsmouth domain is NT4, the York domain is W2k

My problem is that if a user from the Portsmouth domain takes a notebook (xp
pro) to the York office, and logs in, the XP w/stations & the W2k server,
only show the notebook in their "my network places" for the Portsmouth
domain, they not show all of the pc's which are on the LAN in that office.

If the notebook is unplugged from the network, all the Portsmouth pc's
reappear, as is the case if you add the notebook to the local domain in
York.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Stu,

Not too clear on this one, but let me take a stab at it.

When the laptop (that is a member of the Portsmouth domain) is plugged into the network that houses the York domain, the network neighborhood from
all of the clients in the York domain only show this laptop as a resource for the Portsmouth domain.

This is becasue this machine then becomes the Segment Master Browser for the Portsmouth Domain in the York location. If this system is left on the
network for a while, usually over 45 minutes, and this client can resolve the Domain 1B WINS Record for the Portsmouth domain that the brows list should
populate.

My recommendation is to simply stop the Computer Browser Service on that laptop. Disabling the Computer Browser service simply make the system
not participate as a browse master. The client will still be able to use the Network Neighborhood though.
