So the users in USERS* networks could find Sybase =20 > SQL servers via broadcasts? The simple answer is no: if you want subnet-local broadcast traffic to =20= be received, then your DB servers and your clients need to be on the =20 same subnet. Routers are designed and required to not propagate =20 broadcast traffic, although you could switch to doing bridging rather =20= than routing. Or, you could set up Sybase's SQL.INI to list all of =20 the databases you care about, if I recall correctly... Regards, --=20 -Chuck
