Making LAN Manager Domains Visible to Windows NT Browsers

You can make up to four LAN Manager-only domains visible to a Windows NT Browser. You can do this by using the Control Panel or configuring the Registry of the Windows NT browser. The LAN Manager domains you add to the Windows NT browse list this way will be visible to all members of the Windows NT browser's domain.

To make LAN Manager domains visible to a Windows NT browser using the Control Panel

  1. On the Windows NT computer, double-click the Networks option in Control Panel to display the Network Settings dialog box.
  2. Select Computer Browser from the Installed Network Software box, and then choose the Configure button to display the Browser Configuration dialog box.
  3. For each LAN Manager domain you want to add, type the LAN Manager domain name in the box on the left, and then choose the Add button.
  4. When finished adding up to four domains, choose the OK button.

To make LAN Manager domains visible to a Windows NT browser using the Windows NT Registry

  1. Run the REGEDT32.EXE file from File Manager or Program Manager of the Windows NT browser to start the Registry Editor.
  2. Locate the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

  1. In the OtherDomains entry, add the names of the LAN Manager domains that you want to be made visible to the Windows NT browser.
