All the computers on the LAN under the windows domain A, and all the servers in DMZ under the workgroup called B. I wanted to see B and its servers on any of computers on the LAN in Network Neighbourhood, but i could not see it, although i can find those servers in B through Computer Search function in Windows.</P><P></P><P>I guess that it might be due to the name broadcasting packets are dropped by the firewall dmz interface so the LAN computers could not see B and its servers. Am i guessing right?</P><P></P><P>What shall i do to enable all the LAN computers to be able to see B and its servers in Network Neighbourhood?</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 06:44:12 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/windows-name-broadcasting-through-pix-firewall/m-p/141670#M606088 nimgnay 2020-02-21T06:44:12Z Re: Windows Name broadcasting through PIX firewall https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/windows-name-broadcasting-through-pix-firewall/m-p/141671#M606089 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Pl. set up syslog and see which ports are getting blocked on the PIX.
