We have recently connected a remote office with a dedicated line between offices. In the main office we are using 192.168.1.xxx and in the remote office, its 192.168.40.xxx. We can connect and browse fine both directions. However, to access a computer name from Network Neighborhood you have to type in \\192.168.1.xxx, you cant use \\computername. The same thing happens when trying to join a Domain. You get “no domain server available to validate your request.” I added an entry in the hosts filefor the pdc. I think i must need an entry in the lmhosts file telling it the Domain. Does anyone know if this is true and what the syntax is? Does this look right?
192.168.1.9 hocnr #PRE #DOM:HEMATOLOGY
192.168.1.9 “HEMATOLOGY \0x1b” #PRE
