RE: Network Computers

[Bill Farrell <billfarr ages com>]

This is an interesting discussion for me right now, as I have similar
questions.  I understand "normal" (*nix) TCP/IP but M$'s take on it is still
a bit confusing.  

I have three LANs (separate locations).  The "whole" network is
172.24.x.y/16 (implicitly), with location "A" (main office, 15 servers) is
172.24.0.y/24, home (three Win98 workstations) is 172.24.1.y/24, and a
location in the Netherlands (via VPN) is 172.24.5.y/24.

I set the netmasks so that I could use "internal" addresses behind the
firewall and allow the firewall (a Netscreen 10 [LOVE it!]) to do VPN
routing for me.  Is this configuration wrong?

There are 15 servers at my office: two NT PDC's and the rest are RH6.2
running Samba.  Up until I turned on the NL VPN I was blithely unaware that
the WAN wasn't doing what I thought it was :-(~~~

Under the Net'hood either from my office or from home I can see all
computers and both NT domains in the US (172.24.0.y and 172.24.1.y).  I
can't see doodly from the NL LAN (172.24.5.y) with the Net'hood, but
everything is pingable.  That is, I can't see the third domain that lives in
the Netherlands in "Entire Network".

Now, without pissing off the VPN routers, how can I see all three domains?

Mind, this is a "nice-to-have" and not absolutely necessary.  NFS and rcp
work just fine for most data sharing between all three locations.  But my
business partner in NL is more NT-familiar and would like to use the Windoze
Explorer and drag-and-drop.

We can't all be perfect Linux-heads :-)

Life was wonderful up until I had to support NT.  Has anyone else done this
setup?  Have suggestions?

Any would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Bill

What kind of os you try to view the computers under Network Neighborhood?
Check
1. are they in same subnet, the first three digit sets must be same
2. are any of them sharing some out?
