Net vew \\<local server> works fine. When I run net view \\<remote
machine> I get an System Error 64. (I was following the recommendations
from ChicagoTech.net last night)

I would prefer not to install WINS, as I have DNS installed and
replicating between the sites.

Could it be a problem with Kerberos Tickets?

Thanks
Michael

You may want to add WINS server to you network. Assuming you can ping each other by IP, can you do net view \\remoteIP? If yes, can you do net view \\remotehostname? If not, what's the system error?

I have set up a Site-to-Site VPN between two offices in our company.
Office 1 has 3 servers (RRAS, DC, SQL/EXCHG), 2 XP machines and Office
2 has 1 Server (DC, SQL) for now, 1 XP machine. I have one domain
across both Offices. The Site-toSite VPN connects fine and I am able
to ping in both directions from all machines. My problem is that I
cannot connect to any services in Office 2 from XP in Office 1. For
example, I cannot connect to a shared foler in Office 2, cannot connect
to SQL (Windows Auth. or SQL Auth.) and I cannot Remote Desktop to the
Server in Office 2. I can do all of these things from the Servers in
Office 1 to Office 2 and vice versa - that is why my DFS, DNS repl, AD
repl, etc all works.

If I open Explorer on WinXP and try to go to the Server in Office 2 by
\\O2S1or \\O2S1.mydomain.com it tries for about 5 minutes or so and
then tells me it can't resolve the name. I can ping O2S1 or
O2S1.mydomain.com.

If I look at my DNS server, I see entries for all the servers and they
have their correct IP addresses.

As for my routing, all IP packets go to my router (m0n0wall firewall),
where there is a static route to my VPN server.

Servers in Office 1 are Windows 2003 R2 x86
Server in Office 2 is Windows 2003 R2 x64

XP has Sp2 and all other latest updates.

Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks in advance.
