We just changed our internal subnet, all communication is
working fine, ie ping, dns, dhcp.
However, I cant seem to browse the internal network via
network neighborhood.
I get an error stating that the domain is not available,
or I dont have permission.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Jim

Probably, WINS server was forgotten in the old subnet.

Hello All,

Browsing is always based off of WINS and/or broadcasts. Because the browser
service relies on server broadcasts, its communication is connectionless
and by definition unreliable. Because a server's browser role is defined
dynamically with periodic elections, determining the flow of communication
used to provide the browse list to a specific client computer can be
difficult. When domains are split across routers or IP subnets, each
segment will function as an independent browsing entity with its own Master
Browser and Backup Browsers. Therefore, browser elections will occur
within each network segment. Domain Master Browsers are responsible for
spanning the network segments to collect computer name information for
maintaining a domain-wide browse list of available computers in the domain.
Browsing of a domain split across multiple network segments is only
provided in Windows NT Server, so at least one Windows NT Server computer
must be on each network segment to be able to browse the entire domain.

Questions
**********
1. ) Using the browstat utility as per:

188305 Troubleshooting the Microsoft Computer Browser Service
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305

What do your computers think is the master browser?

2.) Do you have WINS installed? If so, do you see the 1B entry from within
the WINS database?
