Tim,
Thanks for the reply. I do so understand your situation(s). I don't have
that need for separation.
In any case, I think Jaime's reply has me back on track again. Yes, I do
get the DNS business, but,
ATM I do not have any data for the DNS servers at my Brother's ISP
(rr.com). I guess I am being
lazy, but I figure he can find this data from his tech support, BrightHouse.

Usually you set that up yourself when installing Windows or other OS's. My
router domain at home is Beave.net, but when I install Windows it defaults to
workgroup and the domain/workgroup.
At work the domain is ADV-DATA.local and it is setup that way on the router.
Although, I have it setup if anyone uses the DHCP to access the network they
will not be able to access the domain services, this is due to the fact the
Router has one DNS server and the Domain uses others to access the active
directory and network itself.
Looks to see if their DNS is setup manually or it is automatic and check their
subnet as well. Those 2 would make it difficult to access net appliances and
shares across the network.

All of my Brother's LAN clients appear to be: WORKGROUP=MSHOME. Is this
an OS default?
I do know how to change this value. And, all of my Brother's clients are
set to get their network specs
automatically - the MS Default (like from his router). Fine.
When he brings his laptop to my home once a year, he can somehow get to
the internet via my router, but he
can not get to any of my other LAN services/PC's//appliances. Odd. I
used to admin his laptop 'into' my LAN, but this
never really fixed everything. Confusing?
Is WORKGROUP= ? a router DHCP assigned value?
I have recently turned on my router's DHCP server, and the logic seems
to work fine.
My home LAN and all of my PC clients us WORKGROUP=WORKGROUP (probably
from back in Win2K times).
All of my PC's and appliances work just fine.
If this makes little sense, I apologize. I just had to ask.
