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 are Windows 95/98/Me

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 :)
 
Reginald0,

First, your Remote machines must be running their respective "File and Print Sharing Services", and of course, each of the remote machines must "Share" something, in order to be "seen" in the Network Neighborhood browser.

I would start there, and let me know how that goes.

Note: Windows NT4.0, and Win2k machines can always be "seen", because there are built-in shares that are available all the time by default. This is not the default behavior for Me, or 9x though...
