o, so you cannot browse the web server's shares through network
neighborhood, right? do you have wins installed on the network? are both
machines configured as wins clients? getting cross-subnet browsing to work
reliably without wins can be an excercise in futility. i recommend
installing a wins server on your network (though try to avoid installing
wins on a rras server) and configuring all clients/servers to use it. unless
you are going to disable netbios over tcp/ip on your network, it is strongly
recommended that you deploy wins.
