WINS and Network Neighborhood not playing together?

by stobek . Updated 15 years, 3 months ago

I’m having problems with computers not showing up in the Network Neighborhood for off-site locations.

We have three locations. Location 1 is the main branch, while there is also Location 2 and Location 3 (L1, L2, L3). We have a DNS/WINS server at L1 (primary) and L2 (secondary). We can see all the computers in the Network Neighborhood from L1 but none from L2 or L3.

If you go into WINS configuration on either server, it lists the computers in L2 and L3 in addition to the ones in L1

More info:
L1 IP address range is 192.168.200.XXX
L2 IP address range is 192.168.201.XXX
L3 range is 192.168.202.XXX

You can connect via remote desktop to any computer.
You can search for any computer at L2 or L3 and find it
All computers are joined to the same domain

The server at L2 (secondary) looks to the primary server at L1 for WINS/DNS information under the TCP/IP settings. It also has NetBIOS enabled through TCP/IP.

Any ideas why only PCs in L1 are showing up and none from L2 or L3?
