I am running NT4 with TCP in a token ring and ethernet environment. My problem is that I can only see computers in my server administrator and network neighborhood that are on the same ring or segment and in the same subnet. I cannot see all the computers in the whole domain.

You do not give very much information on your setup, or tell what troubleshooting you have already done. If you can ping computers across the subnets, two things come to mind. First, do the computers in each subnet have the same workgroup name? Even if they are the same domain, browsers populate by workgroups.

Second, subnets means you have a routed environment. That means in order to browse properly, you either need a WINS server or LMHOSTS files on your computers; otherwise, you will only see the computers local to the subnet because NetBIOS broadcasts do not cross routers.

I have a routed environment situated in five buildings with a wins server in each building. I also run ospf over my routers serial connections and bootp on with ospf on by local interfaces on the routers. The router are wellfleer/bay. I do not make use of workgroups or LMhosts files.

You would need something like WINS. It might be that choosing "Resolve using DHCP" may help in case you are using DHCP.

But, agree with 1, that your main problem is subnet and broadcast.

My bootp is configured on my local interfaces and my preferred server is setup to reference the DHCP server. Using DCHP for forwarding.
