By default, the Computer Browser service only maintains a list of servers on the local network. To allow clients to browse computers on other domains you may need to add the other domains names using this tweak.

Open your registry using REGEDT32 (Windows NT/2000) or Regedit (Windows XP) and find the key below.

Modify or create a new REG_MULTI_SZ value called "OtherDomains" and edit this value to add the names of the domains you want to browse.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
OtherDomains	REG_MULTI_SZ	DOMAIN1 DOMAIN2


	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\P...

Settings:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\
Parameters]
Name: OtherDomains
Type: REG_MULTI_SZ (Multi-String Value)

Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.
