Re: Cisco 4500m router. Trouble routing between inferfaces

Thanks Merv,
That was the small piece of info I was missing. I guess I can
configure WINS and see what that will do.

Thanks again.......

Windows network neighborhood info is carried via NETBIOS over TCP/IP.
NETBIOS name advertisements are send to IP bradcast address
255.255.255.255

Load Ethereal unto one of your PC and you can see this NETBIOS name
traffic

IP broadcast traffic is NOT routed beyond the local IP subnet.
Thus network neighbourhood will not function in a routed environment.

Options:
1. implement WINS
2. Use LMHOSTS file on each PC
3. access resource via their IP address
4. try configuring IP helper-address command to helper to
directed-broadcast address on other segment
