Multiple locations "My Network Places" problem

[Vincent W.S. Tam]

Dear all,

I have setup a domain that across 3 sites connected with VPN across the
Internet:

Site A: Windows 2000 Server run as a DC
Site B: contain vpn broadband router and Windows XP Professional
workstations
Site C: also contain vpn broadband router and Windows XP Professional
workstations

I've setup the Site B and Site C's DHCP to use Site A's DC as the only DNS
and WINS server.

Problem is, always the Site B's XP cannot see Site C's XP each others in My
Network Places->Microsoft Windows Network->DOMAIN.
However, when these XP connect using \\workstationname\, they can connect
with each others.

Is there any tricks need to do in Windows 2000 Server or Windows XP to fix
this problem?


Thanks,
Vincent

Network Neihborhood is a NetBIOS application that depends
on a list maintained by an MS browser. Each subnet elects
a master browser to maintain the list. NetBIOS broadcasts
are not normaly forwarded accross subnets and the list of
machines appearing in NetHood on a given subnet depends on
it's master browser. Site A's master will be a DC. Sites
B and C will have a workgroup election and only report to
the local browse master.

Thank you for your reply!
Oh maybe I've missed something: Site B and Site C's WinXP are already joined
into the AD domain of Site A's Windows 2000 DC.

And how can I do this if I wish site B and C's local browse master to
exchange the list of machines with the DC's domain browse master, do I need
to have a
Windows Server to run at site B and C?
