Thank you very much Joe for replying.

When I say see, I mean that when a remote machine is connected to the remote
LAN I can see the machine in the Server management--> Computers console
When we are remote, a PC that is already a part of our Domain (I sent it
there for testing) goes to My Network -->Entire Network-->Microsoft
Network-->"Our Network Name"...they "see" it but are unable to gain access.

**Are the remote machines getting the DNS
server and WINS server IP address correctly?
How do I do this? I am not very adept at this as you can see.

I am currently off site and cannot "ping" right now. When I return to the
site I will ppost the ping status.

Thanks again
