Win 9x clients, if Workgroup name is set differently than the domain name it
will not may not display.  The net view will use the machine's
workgroup/domain by default.

To see if you have multiple workgroups/domain.. Browse the network.

Hi list,

I cannot figure out what's going on here.  When I (or anyone anywhere) do a
"net view" or browse network neighborhood, I only see about 250 of our 800
computers.  We have about 35 different locations on our WAN, and the
computers I see are from 6 or 7 of them.  I cannot think of anything unique
about these 6 or 7 sites.  They're just branches (work at a bank) and
they're all setup the same with the same kind of routers, servers, etc.
When I look at our WINS database, all 800 computers are there.  No computers
here are running the browser service, so they all rely on WINS for netbios
stuff.  The majority of our workstations are NT 4 still without AD-awareness
installed.  We do have a server running WINS, which is a 2000 server, and
all computers have that set as their WINS server.  Has anyone come across
such a thing or have any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Ray at work
