Hi, We are moving to a new building and I have set up a server in the new building to test connectivity to our WAN. I was able to get it configured so that WAN access is ok. I can ping any pc in the company, but when I do a search on a pc's name I get nothing. If I look for a computer through network places I can see the workgroups/domains, but not the computers in them. If I attempt to connect to a share on the new server from the old building I get the dreaded 'network path not found', but I can ping it all day long. I can ping every computer from every other computer in this scenario. I thought this was a DNS issue (and it still may be), but I have configured this server just like every other one. If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it!! Thanks, Mick

Have you tried connecting via the IP address of of the new server (ie: \\x.x.x.x\sharename)? If not, try it. If that works you know it has to be a DNS problem. I'm thinking it has something to do with how the new server in the remote site connects to the rest of the network but without a bit more detail regarding that, it's hard to say. What network OS are you using, NT or 2000? If 2000, is this an AD integrated domain?

have you configure wins service also for the non 2k clients. and if your are using dns are you using dynamic dhcp?
