Connecting to a domain over a WAN

[JERyan]

Our shop is Novell for our file servers on both sides of
our WAN, however, we have implemented a Windows 2000
server that houses SQL Server. My local users are
connecting just fine and using the databases, but the
users on the other end of the WAN link cannot connect to
the domain, nor do they show up on Network Neighborhood.
What is the best approach to get the users accross the WAN
to connect and utilize the database? The users on the
other end of the WAN link can ping the server's IP
address.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

What are you using for name resolution? DNS? Wins? For browsing to work
(network neighborhood) you will need a Wins server and to have all servers
and clients configured to use the Wins server.

Thanks,
