Hi,
I have a network that has 2 tcp/ip network ranges on one network. 204.x.x.o and 205.x.x.0. I have a 2003 server with SP1 and all updates. The machines are XP Pro SP2 and all updates. I have one router that is handling the 2 ranges.
The problem I am having is that the computers on the 204.x.x.0 range do not see the computers on the 205.x.x.0 range--and vice versa.
Let me rephrase with an example. If I log on to a computer that has been assigned a 205.x.x.x address, when I browse network neighborhood I can see the network, but when I look at the different computers on it, I can not see my server computer that has 204.x.x.x for it's ip address. However, my networked drives are mapped just fine.
If I put in the server's computer name or IP address in "run," I can browse it just fine.
I think the problem I am having is my broadcasts are not crossing ranges. I really need them to cross ranges for a program I have (Deep Freeze) and so students can browse the network.
I have added a 205.x.x.0 ip address on my server (so it has 2 addresses), but the computers on the 2 ranges still don't see eachother.
I use DHCP with a superscope and 2 scopes with the different ranges. I have exceptions for machines/printers that need a static address in each range.
I have DNS enabled. It uses 127.0.0.1 and an off site alternative server. It also has 2 forwarders to off site servers. Client machines on the network are configured to look at the ip address of our 2003 server for it's DNS server in the properties of tcp/ip.
I have WINS enabled.
Any ideas how I can get broadcast traffic to flow between the IP ranges or to see the computer names in Network Neighborhood?
