I cannot see other subnet

Hello,

I can see all machines on my subnet using network neighborhood but not on other subnets. I can connect to resources though. Is this a router config problem?

Thanks,

Larry

Set up a WINS server on the subnet. That is the best option.

Another would be to have the router forward the netbios traffic:

ip forward-protocol udp 137

ip forward-protocol udp 138

BUT I wouldn't do that (strongly recommended), creates too much traffic and is a waste.

Go with WINS.

Hope it helps.

I do not have Windows server on that subnet. Only workstations and a Novell 4.11 server. Do I need to use a lmhosts or hosts file?

Thanks,

Larry

WINS would be much easier to implement and maintain, but if money prevents this LMHOST file would do the trick.

Here is MS' take on it:
