Hi,
Here is my problem>
I have domains A, B and C.There are full trust relation ships beetween them.External and non-transitive trusts.
When i browse through Network neibourghood from comp in domain A i can't see domain C.I can put \\computer_name in address bar and get computer from domain C and when i logon from domain A i can choose domain C in drop-down list, everything works beetween domain A and C but i just can't see domain C icon from win explorer.

Domain A> W2k Server-domain controler, Wins and DNS
Domain B> NT 4.0 PDC and NT4.0 BDC, Wins and DNS.
Domain C> NT 4.0 PDC, DNS, client uses wins from B.

WINS from A and B replicates and DNS A and DNS B use eachothers as dns servers of tcp/ip.
Also when i try to verify trust and supply admin pass i recieve error: "credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials".
Like domain C does not adverties himself in domain A, what WINS or DNS record should i have on DC in domain A to get that icon?Do you know how domains advertise themself(<1b>, <1e>,
<1c> records (WINS))?WHAT MAKES THAT DOMAIN ICON WITH 3 SMALL PICS OF COMPUTERS IN MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK? I KNOW IT IS NOT SAME AS COMPUTER ICON.When i type \\compname i get icon of comp in domain C and when i do UP button now i see icon/text in address bar &quot;DOMAIN_C&quot; and all memebers of domain C.But i got it 'cause i was doing discovery by asking DNSs and WINSs, i wan't it to advertise himself by default like every domain does.

Thanks in advance

The initial browsing function is a NetBios call that relies on the registration of Master Browsers. Each master browser registers a <1Dh> and ..__MSBROWSE__.<01H>. The latter entry is the one that Master Browsers use to talk to each other. Probably the easiest way to get this running in your instance is to set up WINS on Domain C and allow Domain C's WINS tables to replicate to A and B.
