I have three networks at different locations connected by routers, each one with different IP addresses (1.1.1.0 / 2.1.1.0 / 3.1.1.0), being the first location (1.1.1.0) the central, with a Windows 2000 Server, that is the Domain controller and WINS server.
I have a big problem to solve and I need some help.
Let's assume that my central domain is called CENTRAL and all my client machines uses Windows 98 SE

1) I connected all the local machines to a CENTRAL domain controller, but I can't connect the remote machines, for some reason that I don't know why, so all the remote machines are configured as workgroup with the same name of the domain (CENTRAL)
2) I just view the local machines in the network neighborhood, but I can't browse on remote machines, even If I can map or locate remote computers by it's host names.
I want to see all the machines in all network points independent of it's location.

Please, if anybody has a solution, help me! I'm trying to solve this problem for a long time without success. I will be greatly thankful.

PS: Sorry about my poor english, I'm from Brazil :)

Ok lesson 1 in networking.
IP Addressing.
IP Addresses MUST be assigned correctly for your network to work correctly.
1.1.1.0 is NOT a network address it is a subnet address.This means that it will be *all* of the 1.1.1.* IP Address range.

Set your routers using private IP range addresses : example
192.168.1.1 -> central router
192.168.2.1 -> Site1 router
192.168.3.1 -> site2 router
etc ... 192.169.255.1-> cant have any more than this now surely.
(feel free to use 10.10.*.(1 to 255).

Hope this helps ***************************************
Party on, dudes!
