I've a problem with a windows 2000 server connecting to an NT 4 domain. From the NT 4 server, i can run the C$ of the 2k server etc. but cannot browse through Network Neighborhood. Even from the Windows 2000 machine, My Network Places does not include the 2000 server but does include the NT server! I know this is some registry entry issue and is probably caused by the system policy somehow but i can't find a fix.

any help is much appreciated.

thanks in advance, gary

I think the first thing to do is to make sure the wins is working correctly, master browser for the domain is set, win2k wants to use ddns but nt4 doesn't nt4 relies heavily on WINS. Make sure it was correctly added to the domain, go to your pdc and check in server manager to see if you can see it in there. I had a simuluar problem with win2k machines not able to see the domain, but if I pointed at the pdc then I could see the domain. Check on your wins database.
Hope this helps.
