Using TCP/IP Extensions to Integrate Subnet Domains (100651)

SUMMARY

The TCP/IP Extensions for LAN Manager address issues relating to two of the three types of broadcasts: second class mail slots, and name query frames spanning subnets to allow domain functionality.

When using the Microsoft TCP/IP Extensions with LAN Manager hub and node services to view multiple domains, make sure your node services are configured to propagate broadcasts for all appropriate domains within LANMAN.INI.
