I can manualy map drives using eithe IP or Netbios name but the browse button there on the map drive window and if I try to use Network Places they both give me The doamin is not available or you do not have permission...go see you administrator....... I have then logged in as THE administrator ..still same result..so I do not thing pemissions is atthe root of this Help ? thanks

If they are running on seperate subnets you would need a WINS server since NetBios is not a routable protocol. Make sure your servers are not multi-homed as well which means you should only have one NIC enabled
