RE: Netserver over a wan

Mark:
You need to have a WINS server.  A WINS server is similar to a DNS server
for Microsoft networking.  I think (not sure) that Windows networking does
net bios over IP.  We have run into a problem that the routers will not pass
the broadcast packets required for networking neighborhood.  Set up a WINs
server and then your should be able to search for the 400 and find it that
way.

Subject: Netserver over a wan



Hello all,

I have just brought up our corporate WAN. It is a T1 over a Frame Relay. I
can ping my AS/400 and can start 5250 sessions. My problem is Netserver. I
cannot see the AS/400 in Network Neighborhood. The remote location is on a
different subnet than our AS/400 and is not an NT Domain but just a
workgroup. (Only 3 computers in this locale). Is it possible for Netserver
to span subnets? If so, what must I add in order for this to work.

Thanks,

Mark
