Hi

I'm running Win2K with ICS with 2 other machines accessing the Web through
my machine. I'm using Win2K's own Internet Connection Sharing feature.

I've just been given some VPN software to install so I can access my Office
network via a VPN. What I'm finding is that, having successfully made a
connection to the web and then the office via the VPN, if ICS is enabled
although I can ping one of the office machine's IP address, I can't ping
it's name, so my I don't appear to be getting any name resolution, but it
then means that I can't see any file servers nor the mail server. If I stop
ICS everything seems to work as it should, I can see the network and the
mail servers etc.

My VPN software is WatchGuard's Mobile User VPN client.

I really don't know too much about this so am wondering if there any
tweaks/settings in Win2K I can play around with.

Thanks

Simon
