I have two servers running windows server 2008, a wookstation running windows 7 and a laptop running windows xp, this is a lab enviroment, I'm working on my MCITP-Enterprise admin cert. One server and work station are on one side of the router, laptop and server on the other side of the router, the router is a cisco 3620 configured with ip rip, Interface 1 10.1.1.150 - 255.255.255.0, interface 2, 10.1.2.150 - 255.255.255.0. I can see the server and workstation in network neighborhood on one side, and laptop and server in network neighborhood on the other, but I can't see either side from the other. Now I know that LLTP is layer2, so I know it's not routable, but one would think there is a way to see all servers and workstations across the entire network. I have even investigated multicast routing, but I'm not sure that is the solution. I also setup wins servers and configured the workstations to use them, but still nothing, I have a feeling this is a router issue, but what should I be routing that I'm not? Anybody out there have any thoughts, I'm at my witts end with this. Thanks in advance for any advice

Hello, if you talk about network browsing via Explorer, then WINS is required over subnets. Additional make sure the computer browser is enabled, by default disabled on Windows Vista/Server 2008 and higher. Also enable NetBios over TCP/IP on the NIC settings of the machines.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
