I want to connect two networks together.
One is in one city, and the other is somewhere else.
Network 1 has a router that routes traffic to the ISP, and is the DHCP server.
Network 2 does the exact same thing.
But the BDC on Network 1 cannot find the PDC on Network 2.
I have setup LMHOSTS and WINS.
I can now find the PDC's computer with NetBOIS names (ie. \\pdc).
But when I open server manager or user manager, it cannot locate the PDC.
What am i doing wrong.
How do I make two remote locations a LAN?

Misc info:
NT4 Server
Netopia routers
DSL
Tried static IP's

I could be wrong butI believe you are going to have to "tunnel" across the 'net to get it to appear as a LAN. Now VPN is a cranky beyatch so you are going to have to do some serious matching in regards to your hardware supporting VPN (routers,etc).

PPTP/VPN should do the trick.

Me again.
You will find an illustration of what you want to do there: http://www.helmig.com/j_helmig/vpn.htm
This does not tell how to do it precisely but confirms PPTP/VPN could be a workable solution to your prob smile
