Joining two small LAN's to become one . . .

[Dries Feys]

The biggest stumbling block is that unless networking has changed
significantly in Win98 compared with Win95, your PCs will NOT be able to
see anything at the other site without some assistance. Both Samba (windows
networking support for Unix) and Win NT can handle this - you have to set
up a WINS server and tell ALL PCs to use this instead of the normal
broadcast based browsing.


Or you have to use the lmhosts file which describes the ip adresses of the pc's at the other side...
