Re: HELP - Can't Browse Network Neighborhood in a Domain



Bill, thanks for the advice. Actually, after rebooting the Domain Master, it
registered it's 1b record and the browse list finally populated (in the
remote location as well, woo hoo).

Now, my only issue is that remote server isn't showing up in Network
Neighborhood. It's record is in WINS and registered itself dynamically but
the computer object isn't there. AND, that server is a DC and the WINS
server for that location, with it pointing to itself for WINS resolution.
Any reason anyone can think of for that?
