If I remember correctly MSNN uses Netbeui/Client for Microsoft protocols that are nonrouteable....if you have any routers in the middle including a routed or nat box doing routing then packets pertaining to these protocols are dropped...this is also the case with switches that are configured for TCP/IP only. To have MSNN work you must be on the same segment as the server that you want to connect to, be running Client for Microsoft or Netbeui or both and have no interfering devices (routers,nat,routed,switches,etc.) in the middle. When i say switches I mean ones configed for TCP networks only...I have several switches and I can see MSNN through them fine, but then they are considered Workgroup Switches so they are configured for routing everthing even Microsoft garbage. I might be wrong but this is to the best of my knowledge.
