All,
Sorry to ask a customer-related question, but since it's so bizarre,
I figured it's a possibility on the lab :) I've got a main location with
about 100 users, including 1 control-freak admin. I'm rolling out a frame
network to several remote offices. The admin would like to be able to see
the remote workstations in his network neighborhood for admin purposes.
They don't own any NT servers, so WINs is not an option. I've done IP
helper and forward protocol UDP 137-139 in small locations to allow computer
browsing, but because of the 56 kb frame circuit and the fact that there's
100 users at the main location, I don't want to forward all the netbios
broadcasts from the main segment to the remote frame location. If I use an
extended ACL to allow NB broadcasts incoming on the ethernet to allow only
the admin workstation, and have an IP helper on that interface, will only
the admin PC broadcasts be 'ip-helped' to the other side? Or does the
IP-helper take precedence and ignore the ACL? I don't currently have enough
Windows PCs in my lab to test this right now. All PCs are either 98 or NT,
and running IP only, no netbeui. The diagram would sort of look like this:
remote PC1 | |PC1
remote PC2 |--ethernet--RTRA-----frame 56kb----RTRB---ethernet--|PC2
remote PC3 | | | |ADMIN PC
ip helper ip helper |...
address is address is |PC100
admin's PC broadcast
address of RTRA's
ethernet segment
Thanks,
