Re: DHCP and Static Boxes cannot see one another



Network Neighborhood displays the list built by the browser service. The
browse list is built by LAN broadcasts. All machines should show up in the
browse list as long as they are on the same physical segment.

If you see two separate browse lists there is something odd going on.
Are they in dfferent IP subnets? Different domains/workgroups?

The tool to debug problems with the browser service is browstat (from
the sytem tools).

This is a repost of an issue I was working and had to put on hold but I am
now able to get back to this issue.

The question was:

We currently have boxes on our network that utilize static IP's and boxes
that utilize DHCP. Statics are mainly our servers, development and admin
boxes. Most of are users are dhcp unless neccesity dictates otherwise.
Currently If you look
in network neighborhood and view entire network, if your on one of the
static boxes you will only be able to see other boxes with static ip
addresses and dhcp can only see dhcp boxes. Not sure why this is. The only
thing that had changed recently was that we went from a 172.x.x.x network
to
a 205.x.x.x network and that was when this started per my understanding.
Has
anyone else seen something like this?

Is this something with networking, tcp/ip, security, group policy? Any
assistance or ideas would be appreciated.
