Adding remote workgroup to network neighborhood

G

Guest

I have 50 machines at corporate and 100 machines at remote stores. My domain at corporate is "XYZ". I can see all machines in "XYZ" locally. The 100 remote machines are on local workgroups named "123". I can ping and map to the remote machines just fine. I would like to be bale to view the remote machines with network neighborhood. Is there a way I can add a remote workgroup?

It sounds like they are on different subnets. If you can configure wins
servers on each subnet and make them replication partners and make all the
computers including the wins servers wins clients, that should work.
Otherwise you are going to have to try and make one machine on each subnet a
preferred master browser via a registry mod and use lmhosts files on each of
them so that they can find each other. The links below may help. --- Steve
