Q: VPN name resolution and browsing After I successfully connect to the VPN Server remotely, I cannot browse the network, and see other computers and resources. I cannot even see the shared resources either. I am running W2K, with VPN server, AD, DHCP, DNS installed. I do not want to use LMHost file. Your detailed guidance is appreciated. I wonder what is it that I am missing. A1:
Assuming you can ping by ip but no
name, after establishing the VPN, which DNS do you use? or you may want to
install WINS. Robert A2:
assuming "MS DNS" is remote network
DNS, can you ping the FQDN of the server? if yes, can you do the FQDN of
remote computers? A3: There are really two different issues here. The first is name resolution. You should be able to resolve names using DNS, as Robert Lin pointed out. Browsing in My Network Places is a different matter. It probably won't work too well without WINS, because the computer browser service is an NT legacy app and uses Netbios names, not DNS. A4: Not if you want browsing to
work across routers (e.g., without broadcasts.) Related Topics
