Limit neighborhood browsing to subnet only?

[Henrique Reis]

Does anyone know how to limit network neighborhood
browsing to computers on a local subnet only. Right now
users on all subnets on this Windows 2000 active directory
domain can see all computers in the entire domain and
other domains. How do I turn it off so that users on
subnet A can only see computers on subnet A, and not from
subnet b,c,d.....

thanks.

If that's what you really want to do, I suppose you could set every
machine's node type to peer to peer and setup a WINS server and even a
DHCP server for each subnet. You wouldn't setup any replication between
your WINS servers. I'm not sure how that would work,but it's the only
thing I can think of.

Oh wait, you could stick strictly to NetBEUI, which is not routable, but
then you mght need a DC on each subnet as well. But that might not work
so hot either because how would the DC's talk to each other??

Just thinking out loud.
