There has been discussion of netbios over ip on this list, we have been dealing with NBI and it's OfficeVantage LAN system, which apparently uses B-node netbios over ip for client/server access. An OfficeVantage client cannot access a server beyond one of our gateways. NBI tells me this is because their B-node based netbios over ip uses an all-ones broadcast on the ethernet. In our ip-routed tcpip network, an all-ones broadcast will not pass thru a router. My questions to this list are - has anyone else tried running this software (NBI's Officevantage) in an ip routed environment? Is NBI rfc1001 compliant using a general eth broadcast for 'b-node' netbios over ip? Are there any netbios over ip implementations that can exist in an ip routed setup? By exist I mean provide client/server functionality thru an ip router. JoAnn
