Re: Can't browse across subnets

Nothing that I can think of! I was trying to get RWW working externally,
(see thread in this ng subject: RWW not working externally (R2)) and Gregg
Hill and Cris Hanna were helping me to t-shoot. In looking through all the
posts in case I forgot something I can't see anythign I might have done
which should affect this - the only thing I changed was permissions for
remote access. And remember - I'm trying to connect as Administrator, so
it's not a permissions thing. I rebooted the server this morning after
uninstalling antivirus client software, but there were no errors in the
event log on reboot.

So weird...

Nope, regular share, using name or ip also fails. Restarted Net Logon and
Computer Browser services on the SBS server (the only DC), no errors, no
joy.

OK, just wanted to be sure the term browsing is often associated with
network neighborhood..

the c$ share is an administrative share - have you also tested using a
manmade share? Does \\1.2.3.4\share work at all?

Have you stopped and restarted netlogon or computerbrowser on any DC's
yet?

Well Chris, the funny thing is this has been working just fine for 6
years.
And was working yesterday - users often print to the other locations
printers rather than sending faxes or email, and suddenly they can't.
Nice suggestion, but start>>run>> \\estimating\c$ (a valid share on a
PC at
the shop) does not work from the office, "the network path was not
found."

Browsing = Netbios which does not pass routers.

Can they start-Run \\MACHINEONOTHERSUBNET and view shares?

OK I'm ready to tear my hair out here. As of this morning, users at
the
Office cannot view shares on workstations at the Shop and
vice-versa.
Users at the both locations can, however, view shares on the servers
(SBS
2003, Win2003 and Win2000). Nothing has changed that I know of - I
was
working on getting RWW access functional yesterday (not fixed yet)
and
I'm fairly certain I didn't change any settings other than
permissions
and IUSR password on the SBS server, and reran CEICW (no errors).

Verified the following:

1. All workstations can browse all others on their subnet.
2. All workstations can resolve all computernames via nslookup.
3. All workstations can access servers regardless of location.
4. No workstation can browse any other workstation not on their
subnet,
even when the logged in user is a domain admin. Internet access and
email
are functional.
5. All IPs are assigned via DHCP, scopes were not altered since this
was
working yesterday. Release/renew and rebooting do not resolve the
problem.
6. All computers are correctly registered in DNS and WINS, and have
DNS
and WINS server info in IP properties via DHCP, matching that of the
servers' manually assigned settings.
7. All computers are available from either subnet using Remote
Desktop
Connection.
8. All computers can be pinged via either name or IP address.
9. Both routers have been rebooted, verified router configuration
against
backed up config files, nothing changed there either.
10. All workstations are XP Pro SP2.

Below is the ipconfig /all info from a workstation and a server, I
can
see no difference other than one is DHCP and one is static.

What the #$%@ am I missing here?

TIA,

SusanV
