All you need to do is configure the clients in the DC-less subnet to use a WINS server (anywhere, not necessarily in the same subnet) that has the required domain records.
WINS servers hold more than just netbios-ip address tables, there are lots of different WINS record types. Here is a good link detailing what different types http://www.lansys.buffalo.edu/wins99/wins.html Cheers, Symon -----Original Message----- From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 January 2003 22:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: O/T more campus design issues [7:60136] You all remember my very simple campus network re-design that I've been helping out with? It sure has been keeping me humble. ;-) So we upgraded the single subnet to two subnets and two VLANs. Everything is working OK except for Windows networking. The PCs on the new subnet can't find a domain controller for authentication. So, you can feel free to yell at me for not gathering more information on the symptoms, but the client hasn't told me much. ;-) But does this ring a bell with anyone? Are there standard recommendations on how to handle this in a subnetted VLANed internetwork. I'm not too well informed on Windows networking. My co-author wrote that chapter in my troubleshooting book. Thank-you so much!
