Hi there,
There are lots of posts about VPN name resolution problems. And yes, I've
read and tried a lot, but still cannot fix my problem.
I have a small network in my office. The machines are running either Win2k
pro or XP pro (no server installed). The LAN is connected to the Internet
using a Netgear ADSL modem. I use a Win2k pro box as the VPN server to
accept connection from my home box with XP pro. I think I set the machines
and ADSL modem properly. And yes, everything is working perfectly (e.g., I
can ping the server by name, I can use "Net view", and "Net use", etc..)
except that:
(1) The VPN server machine name *doesn't always* appear in "My Network
Places". Probably 9 out of 10 times I cannot see the name. Sometimes, it
does appear, and then some time later, it disappears.
(2) I cannot access *other* boxes in the server side LAN by name. I can ping
them or map network drives using their IP addresses, but just cannot use
their names. As mentioned in point (1), even though sometimes the machines
appear in "My Network Places", I still cannot use them. If I double click an
icon, it says something like the machine is not accessible, but actually it
is.
Yes, I've enabled Netbios over IP option, and I even installed Netbeui, but
it doesn't help.
I sometimes think maybe the VPN server in Win2k pro is not fully functional.
Has anyone got any idea? Please help!
Thanks in advance!!
Lei
