Here is the condensed version:
2 VLANS. Adtran 3120. No Domain on network, strictly workgroups.
Computers on one VLAN unable to resolve the names on the other VLAN.

Wire shark shows that when I ping Joe it sends out NBNS query?
I thought Net bios went the way of a Dodo bird at Win 2000.

How can we use DNS to resolve local names since the router/is the DHCP and DNS server?

Can anyone confirmn setting up a WINS server to be the answer?
As of right now it is a small network and forwarding Netbios traffic is a small concern. But putting in helper IPs or ip forward-protocol udp netbios-ns and a few other things into the router didn't help
