Cannot browse to parent domain from child domain hosts

[S Roberts]

Hello,
I've created a child DC for a remote office of ours to
run local DNS as well in a test env at our HQ.

I've run through the MS doc
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000s
erv/deploy/confeat/addcont.mspx#XSLTsection125121120120)
detailing this procedure, which appears to heva completed
successfuly. However, there is a problem:

1] From a machine on the parent domain, I can browse (My
Network Places on WinXP) to network resources on the
child domain.

2] I am unable to browse (in the same fashion) network
resources on the parent domain from any host joined to
the child domain, nor the child DC itself.

3] From any host on the child domain, I *can* run
\\parent_domain_server, which works for some reason.

Why am I unable to access / see servers on the parent
domain from the child domain? Thanks for the time.

This is a browser service issue. UNC \\path\path doesn't require the
browser service so will still work. Check to ensure that NetBT is enabled
on the child DC and that the NetBIOS TCP/IP Helper Service isn't disabled or
stopped.
