First let me say sorry if this issue has all ready been
posted.

I currently have several Windows NT and 2000 Domain
Controllers in different domain's setup up on the same
subnet. Our clients authenticate and share files to these
domain controllers via a WAN connection, depending on
which domain they are members of.

I know that you shouldn't do this, but I didn't build this
network and I am working with what my company has to offer
me to solve its problems.

The problem is that one of our clients is complaining that
when they open My Network Places and go to open the Entire
Network and then open Microsoft Windows Network, they are
able to see all of the Domains that are setup on this
subnet.

Question is, other than properly subnetting the Domain
Computers is there a way to allow the client only to see
their Domain and the systems under that Domain without
affecting their ability to use the computer browser for
this function?

I hope this is clear enough. Please if someone can answer
this question I'd really appreciate a prompt response.

Thank you

I'm not sure about this, but if you want to prevent the broadcast
discovery of other domains, you may be able to accomplish this by
forcing the node type of the computer to be a p-type node (which should
force WINS server updates and eliminate broadcasts). For more info:
