OK.. the set up is thus
I have a duel horned machine… ‘MyMachine’. One points on to a LAN and the other through a switch to a local net(Separate VLAN).
MyMachine can see the LAN and I can login to it so it gets its IP from the DNS etc ok. When I browse the network I see the default WORKGROUP and in there I can see the machines on the local net… the second connection on MyMachine is hardcoded to be in the same IP range as the WORKGROUP computers.
When I network browse from a localmachine (in WORKGROUP only) I can see the other local machines but not MyMachine. Why is that given they can ping each other ok? I assume its because MyMachine is on a domain and not in WORKGROUP. Is there a way to make it visible.
I want the local machines to be able to put files onto the MyComputer machine without seeing the outside world and without the need to be on the domain.
The MyComputer machine should be able to access machines on the domain AND on the localnet.
FYI I am not a network specialist and have managed to fumble my way to this point reading around and trying stuff out etc… so all help is gratefully received.
