[c-nsp] Windows networking across subnets

[Patrick J Greene]

James,
What they need to do is setup a WINS server on one of their Windows Servers.  Then configure all the clients to point to that WINS server.  As long as everybody can ping then you should be fine.  Another workaround is to establish the share by the IP address of the printer or workstation until you get WINS installed.  WINS does not need AD.

Subject: [c-nsp] Windows networking across subnets

I am all thumbs with windows, I am a *nix guy so I am not sure how to pull
this one off.

I have an office with multiple subnets on the Ethernet interface (primary
and secondary), which serves as the gateway
for each subnet. The office wants to be able to see shares and printers from
all computers, even if they are on another subnet.
They do not want an AD server. I suspect this is a broadcast issue, from the
little I know of MS, so thet would suggest an ip
help-address. I am not finding the right doc on this at Cisco. Can anyone
point be in the right direction ?

Thanks,
