problem in Browsing vlan Subnet

hi, I am using a 6509 switcher version pls see bellow:
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) c6sup2_rp Software (c6sup2_rp-IS-M), Version 12.1(3a)E4, EARLY

I have setup at least one WINS in vlan1 , all other vlans add a ip
helper-address added to the wins IP address. I can use \\<computer name> in
explorer address box to browse the PC I also can use net view \\<computer
name> I also can use net view \domain:<groupname> to list other group's pcs
and servers. But I can not use network eighbour browsing them.


I think net vew, and net use both use wins if it is configured, but
network neighbour browsing does not.


my clients all intalled tcp/ip and make netbios enabled with wins
enabled, and install netbeui too. I have tried my kinds of os:
win98/win2k/winxp. if I set my vlan2's pc's group as the name of vlan1's
group(where my wins located in it too), it can be browsed and can browse
other pc or server too(that is vlan 2 can visit vlan1 , vlan1 can visit
vlan2).


I have tried to config it with ip forward-protocol udp but failed. ie.


6509(config)# ip forward-protocol udp
6509(config)# ip forward-protocol spanning-tree
6509(config)# ip forward-protocol turbo-flood
but it can only sucess with ip forward-protocol spanning-tree and ip
forward-protocol turbo-flood. does ip forward-protocol turbo-flood equal
with ip forward-protocol udp? or someother reason?


my sh conf output is :


show conf

no ip http server

end

what is wrong with my configuration? I have set wins and netbeui protocol
on both server and PC. vlan 1's servers are in domain, other vlan's pc are
in different workgroup. (are this the key?) thanks ahead.
it is said I should setup at least one PC in each other vlan into Vlan1's
Domain server, only this can help us browse the network neighbour.

What exact error do you receive when you attempt
to browse a remote subnet?

I would disable the spanning-tree alogorithm and the
turbo flood feature. You don't want broadcast packets
being forwarded to the remote subnets.. This fowls the
browse list because browsing packets which are supposed
to be local are being forwarded to remote subnets which
will cause an incomplete browse list.
