Multiple Site Locations

[secureinc]

Below is somewhat the setup I am facing
Site 1
10.53.1.1
255.255.255.0

Site 2 Site 3 Site 4
10.53.1.2 10.53.1.3 10.53.1.4
255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

Site 2,3, and 4 will have Frame Relay circuits pointing to Site 1. All networks need to be accessable from Network Neighborhood. I know that "ip helper-address" will be needed, and so will "ip forward-protocol udp 139". So my question is this - What is the proper way to setup the helper addresses and on which interfaces? Thanks a million!!!!

Setup a WINS server on a NT server or a Linux box running Samba, that'll save you so much time and trouble, and bandwidth than doing the ip-helpers...

Unfortunatly my client only wants to use existing hardware to accompish this task. The ip's actually should read 10.53.1.1 /24, 10.53.2.1 /24, 10.53.3.1 /24, 10.53.4.1/24....Thanks

Use 'ip helper-address x.x.x.x' where x.x.x.x is your server or 'ip helper-address x.x.x.255' where x.x.x.255 is the subet on which the servers exists. Put these statements wherever hosts needing access to the server reside. If you do the subnet, I think you need 'ip directed-broadcast' on the ethernet interface where the server is.
