Question:
4 subnets seperated by Cisco routers. Running Netware 5.1 servers in all
location. No NT servers. All windows 95 workstations in all branches are setup
with the same workgroup name, WORKGROUP. All workstations use the same WINS
server. Netbios name resolution to IP is fine.
How need to be done so that if I open network neighborhood, I can see all
Windows 95 workstations in all locations?
Here is my understanding:
Browser election will occur in each subnet and one of the Windows 95
workstations will become master browser for the WORKGROUP on the local
subnet.
Since browser elections are broadcast, the are blocked by router and thus each
master browser does not know about other master browsers in all other subnets.
So we can only see local workstations in network neighborhood.
So I tried these:
Enable ip helpder-address 172.16.1.255 (LAN masks are 24-bit)in all LAN
interfaces and point to each other. I hope that ip helper-address will forward
netbios broadcast to all subnets and trick the workstations there is only one
network. So only one master browser instead of four master browsers were
elected. But it does not work and workstations from another subnets will not
showing in network neighborhood.
I have not tried browstat.exe yet..
What do you think? Please advice,
Ken
