Hi:

I have two Nt domains joined by a router. The problem is I reformat the server, and reinstall services to solve a prible adding lpr ports, but now cant resolve the names of the other domain just the locals. I have installed wins.
Anyone can give an advice to solve this.

Thanks

well, you need wins installed on both machines. this type of name resolution does not work through router. Also, you may want to implement DNS.

the below post is exactly what I meant and what you need. without it you cannot do name res through a router.

Have a WINS server in both domains (on both sides of the router).
Then make the WINS Servers push-pull replication partners, so they share their name resolution databases.
