Browsing to DMZ

[Jimtron26]

Hi all,

I recently put a web server in a DMZ and now cannot browse to it across the network. The server is functioning fine with all traffic origintaing on the LAN permitted.

I can ping it, access the web site on there internally by adding it to hosts file etc but i cannot see it in My Network Places.

I have been informed that this is because NETBios is unroutable between the two networks.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

Thanks in advance

Jim

You can try an IP-Helper command on the router in question. Multicast and broadcasts will NOT reach the computer on the other network.

You have created a DMZ, which is a two entirely different networks which cannot communicate to each other except by IP. No layer 2 protocols.

Enable ip helper-address, and possibly ip forward-protocol udp on the interface in question to point to the wins server / Active Directory server and it will may help.
