Viewing Workgroups In XP

P

Parmar

I would like to know whether it is possible to view more
than one workgroup within Windows XP allowing you to see
the computers name etc. when viewing the entire network in
Windows Explorer.

Within my business we have a NT 2000 Server, One Cisco
Router and Three different locations all accessing the
server through 64k lines. The locations are called
Workgroup1, Workgroup2 and Workgroup3. Within the main
site I can access and see all the computers in Workgroup1
but not 2 and 3. Is it possible to see all three??? I
should also mention that each site is on a different IP
address structure i.e. 192.168.1.2, 192.168.2.2 and
192.168.3.2.

Please help....

You need to be running a NetBIOS name server (WINS is the MS implementation
of this) or configure your router to forward broadcasts if it supports this
feature.
