Browsing Domain

[Steve Babcock]

I just added a Win2K server to an existing domain. The PDC is located
on a different network over a VPN.
I had no problem adding the win2K server to the domain or logging in.
I can also browse to the PCD by searching for it and map a drive either
though Win2K or command prompt.

BUT, I cannot browse the domain.
When I select the Domain from the Network Places, the Domain icon show
up But selecting the Domain returns the followiong messages :

"xxx (domain name) is not accessible"
"The network path is not found"

This is causing problems because I cannot add this server as an
additional domain controller.

Are you using WINS or just DNS? Sounds like the VPN connection is
blocking NetBIOS broadcasts. Make sure that you have Netbios enabled
over TCP/IP, and that you're not blocking ports 137 - 139 TCP/UDP and
445 TCP.

Using Both AND I can see my new server registered in WINS on the PDC server
