We have a two location network
connected via T1. The main location has
an NT Stand-alone server that has basic
shares for users. The remote location is
subnetted through two routers on either
side of the T1.
My question is how to get the remote
subnet computers (WIN98) to see the NT
server in the main location. We have tried
setting up LMHosts on the WIN98
machines for a static route though it does
not seem to work.
The IP traffic routes fine. We can ping the
machines from any direction. The remote
machines can access the internet
through a main location router connected
to a DSL line. But the remote machines
cannot see any Windows services.
We have installed WINS on the NT but it
does not seem to broadcast the Windows
information to the subnet. The remote
WIN98 computers have their network
properties set to the IP of the WINS
server, but they cannot see it.
Must the NT be PDC to run WINS? Is
there some setup in WINS to broadcast to
the subnet?
