ptp vpn connection and viewing network comptuers

[cfutt]

I have two locations connnected by a ptp vpn using two dlink dfl-300 firewalls. I have a win 2000 server pdc in site A. Computers in site B connect to the domain in site A and use a dns server that is in site A. When browsing the network on a computer in site B, all i can see is computers that are on the network in site A. I do not see any computers that are on the network in site B. Is there something i can do so that i can see the entire network (both A and B). all computers are using windows xp service pack 2.

oh yea, forgot to mention that the vpn works fine. each computer connects to the domain without a problem.

You may have to create a share to be able to see them, at least once.

one of the computers in site B already have a couple shares on them. There are a total of 6 computers on site B's network, lets call that one B6. I do not see B6 on any of the computers on site B, even though there is already a share on it.

They are on the same domain, have correct IP address and don't have firewalls enabled?

You can also try using static IPs instead of DHCP assigned.

they are on the same domain.
site a -192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 subnet/mask
site b- 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 subnet/mask

firewall shouldnt be the problem.

forgot to mention that in site B, i can manually search by ip/name for any other computer on site B's network. however i cannot search for site B's computers from site A's networked computers. Does this seem like a dns related problem?

It could be a DNS problem that's why I was suggesting static IPs for testing purposes. Maybe add an entry in the hosts file and see if that makes a difference.
