enabled broadcast ping on the routers, and the servers can each ping the 
other subnet with no trouble.  The two relevant IPs are 192.168.1.101 
and 192.168.2.3.  There is a T1 between two Cisco routers, and IP 
routing is all set up.

In my opinion, it is wrong.

On one server, set:

wins support = yes

On the other:


wins server = 192.168.5.2  # (IP of the first one)
wins proxy = yes
