Computer Browser

[andrew]

Hi All

I have 2 sites(eg: A & B) and 2 different subnet for both the sites.
Recently I have installed a server 2003 R2 Standard and joined it to the
domain as member domain controller. The domain controller for site B has
DNS,DHCP and ofcours Active directory running in it. Since site B is a small
environment, it also has DC is also acting as printer server and file server.

The issue is when I go to entier network in site B I don't readily see all
the computer and servers from Site A; I have to restart the comptuer browser
service to populate the list. But in Site A under entire network I don't see
any computer or server from Site B even when I restart the computer browser.

Netbios, TCP/IP and Printer and File Sharing. I even installed WINS service
for both the DC to help the issue. I can't see to fix this issue. Please help
me

Hello Andrew,

So NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled like this on all machines:
network properties>TCP/IP>advanced>WINS>enable netbios over TCP

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from both servers

Best regards
