Hi there,
We have two different subnets x.x.21.x and x.x.14.x connected via a router.
I tried setting up a NextStation today as a Netinfo client on the 14
subnet while the Netinfo server is on the 21 subnet. Well...
The client couldn't find the server and i was informed the routers do not
pass broadcast information. Is there any way of getting around this apart
from the expensive proposition of assigning a configuration server for each
subnet?
       Eternally grateful if can get some input on this.
