We have an organization with three locations here. All locations connected
via frame relay. All locations have PDC and BDC, also have their local DNS
like loc1.sample.com, loc2.sample.com, loc3.sample.com. The problem is
location1 can browse location2, and connect to any client computers. But when
you try to connect PDC on location2 it says the network path was not found.
So you can not ping PDC on location2 too. It says bad ip address. But when
you try to connect via IP address to PDC on location2 it seems everything ok.
Also it seems the proble with name translation.
Another thing is that if you try to connect to PDC on location2 from
**location3** it seems there is no problem. What could be the problem?How can
we fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do nslookups from each offending system to see what the detination
system is showing as. Make sure the DNS servers are synched if you
have the records on all three.

Since this is NT 4.0 could this not be a WINS issue. I
may be completely off base but NT 4.0 does not even
require DNS for browsing.
