My Network place can't open each workgroup using WINS Server and NAT

hello,

i have 2 network nat or router stand alone server , using wins server (windows server 2003), bellow network scope

network 1 : 192.168.0.0/24

network 2 : 192.168.88.0/24

all  network working fine can open share between network 1 , 2 typing using windows xp sp2, "ex : \\rico\data\", can ping , no problem found. problem workgroup of each network not shown in "my network place", can open computer name can't browse in network place every workgroup.
in wins server (windows server 2003) have fill database workgroup , computer name correctly. solution this? there wins configuration missed? or there bug 'computer browser' services 2 different network in client os?

as conclusion point :

- can open netbios or network share type \\computer name or ip address each network,

- wins server have database correctly computer name , workgroup , ready dhcp/static ip address

- "my network place" in client (windows xp) showing workgroup same network only, cannot open entire workgroup network.

hope help

thank much

hi mafullah,

based on description, problem is, example, in network1, in “my network place“ of 1 windows xp client, couldn’t see network2’s workgroup displayed. open network share of 2 network’s computers typing \\computer name or \\ ip address.

the browsing behavior in workgroup different in domain environment. workgroup, default, expected can view list of computers in same subnet. due have configured wins service , there router between 2 network, access network share via computer name , ip address.

if want computers in other network displayed in “my network places”, try add network location using add network place wizard see if see computers of network in “my network places”.
