RE: AS/400 in Network Neighborhood

Most routers, I believe, do not pass NETBIOS broadcasts. NetServer is
easiest when you are on the same subnet.. Other routers block NETBIOS
completely. If NETBIOS is blocked, even using the IP address will not work.
I am connected via cable and they have blocked NETBIOS, so that Network
Neighborhood is NOT your neighborhood. I need to wait until we get VPN going.
