Re: servers on different subnets cannot see all other computers in

OK here is some additional info from a test I ran.

The parent domain is in NY and we also have a child domain here is NY as
well. We kinda did the single foraet empty root approach. These two domains
are on the same subnet 10.100.0.0/16. Everything communicates perfect b/c
it's the same subnet no router/VLANs separate the two.

I put a laptop from the child domain on it's own subnet 10.200.0.0/24. I
have a router to separate the two subnets. I setup WINS on the child domain
and pointed the laptop to it, rebooted and all the domains show up in
nethood. I can ofcourse connect to the child domain the laptop belongs and
the partent but cannot connect to the other child domain. I get not
accessible error.

So should I setup a WINS server in each domain based on this? Or should I
point everything to the WINS server in the parent domain and try to figure
out the issue?

Hi Mark,

The command is: net view /domain:parentdomainname

Use the NetBIOS name not the FQDN.

You, somehow, queried a specific computer for it's
shared resources.
