Multihomed Win2K server not seen by NT clients

Guest

I have a multihomed Win2K server.

NIC1 to corporate WAN - this side OK
NIC2 to small isolated LAN - this side PROBLEMS

Each NIC bound to a different subnet/IP addressing scheme.

The Win2K server is a member of the corporate domain.

The NT4 workstations are members of a Workgroup named "Workgroup." They can
ping the Win2K server. They cannot see the server when browsing the network
and cannot log into the server. Drives cannot be mapped by server name or IP
address.

I need to enable the NT4 workstations to see and log into the Win2K server.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Of course not. They have to be domain members with the server. At a minimum
you must make the workgroup name match the domainname,...that would improve
the situation but it would not be perfect.
Drives cannot be mapped by server name or IP
address.

Can't do anything with that without knowing *why* it failed. Could be a
connection issue or an authentication issue but those are two entirely
different things.
