Sounds like it's probably a name resolution problem. Your RAS users need to use a WINS or DNS server for name resolution once they log on to the domain. On the RAS clients, put your DNS or WINS server IP addresses in the TCP/IP properties of your dial-up networking phonebook entry. If you have only one WINS or DNS server, put this address in for both primary and secondary. Hope this helps!

enable the lmhost in tcp/ip properties and edit the lmhost file in the windows directory of the windows 95. microsoft knowledgebase q180094. Enter the pdc and your domain with #PRE and #DOM. then use the nbtstat -R and nbtstat -c. This will allow you to see the computers. note that it would be faster to go to start | find | computers. If you try to use network neighborhood then it will take a long time. you might want to disable master browsing in the network properties | file and print sharing .

The above answers are part of the story, but there is usually more that you must do. For the basics, see Knowledge Base Q149907, "Browsing a Remote Network from a DUN Client Using Only TCP/IP" at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q149/9/07.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0 .

Also see article Q108738, "Browsing Non-Networked Computers Over RAS" at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q108/7/38.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0

You can find additional information by seraching the Knowledge Base for "NTRAS BROWSE".

On the client's dial-up properties, you may have unclicked the Log on to network
box. You need this clicked to be able to see the network.
