Network Neighborhood and Windows Server 2003 AD

[thelke]

I was running an NT4 Domain
I created a Windows 2003 AD in Mixed Mode
I moved my users over to the new domain
The new domain runs on a new subnet
I can browse host names & shares by \\hostname
I resolve names to IP in cmd
When I go into Network Neighborhood on my DC, I see all of the hostnames on the new domain

But . . .

When I go into NN on any member PC or Server, I cannot see the hostnames.

I am at a loss.

I have tried:
WINS, using 3 different servers
Enableing Netbios over TCP/IP
Installing Netbios as a protocol

When on the old domain, I had no problems with seeing the host names in NN, what would cause this change in the AD? I looked in the default doamin GP, and can find nothing that might cause this.

I can come out of mixed mode, and go native 2000 (I have some 2k servers) but will that A) Cause any problems with the 6 NT Workstations machines? or B) Even help the situation?

Please help,
Thank You!

I figured it out. I had 2 NICs in the main DC, bith registering on DNS and WINS. Once I turned all of that off, it kicked in, almost instantly.

thelke,

I really hope you check this often, or have it e-mailing you...

Can you elaborate on what you did to fix your problem? I'm having the EXACT same problem, but for me it seems to be intermittent. Anyway, I don't understand what you mean by "turned all of that off".

Thanks!

(If I recall correctly) I had 2 NICs on the Windows Server 2003 box, and the WINS was conflicting while trying to authenticate on multiple IP addresses. I disabled 1 NIC, and (I think) I either rebound the IP to the WINS server or deleted the old entries, and manually added the server to WINS.

It has been a while, but that is what I recall doing...
