Browsing over a WAN

[treble99]

Could someone please help me, I have WAN set-up with 1 head office and 3 regional offices all with there own NT servers. Trust relationships are established and the WINS Servers are OK, everything seems to be hunky dory apart from one thing. If any Win 95 clients try to browse the WAN to look any one of the regional offices a message appears saying (“Domain Name” is not accessible. – The computer or share name could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again.)
If you keep trying to connect by refreshing the browser or by finding any of the computers under find, eventually the regional clients/servers appear in the explorer. On the NT clients this problem “does not” happen, they seem to just wait for the routers to connect and then show the clients/servers in the explorer. I don’t know whether this is a timeout problem within 95, having to wait for the routers to connect or it is a WINS problem.
Could anyone help because this is really frustrating.

um.... WAN doesnt that stand for &quot;Wake On Network&quot; that turns your computer on when someone remotely tries to access it, or when the network card gets activity? [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=

WAN = Wide Area Network.....

I believe that the NT clients have the option of logging on directly to the domain, but the win9x clients don't (or at least I don't know how to get them too ). Where I work we have a WAN situation, but no win9x computers. Maybe there is a program that can be downloaded from microsoft or something like that....

I work with a bunch of Win98 Machines that log directly on our domains(NT4). But anyways least I know what WAN is, I was confusing it with the feature some motherboards have.(WAL I think it's called) [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=
