Re: VPN sees only Shared Folders



If the DNS doesn't take care of name resolution, you may want to use mlhosts. Or this search result may help.

Can use ip but no name(Note: Alternatively, you can use mlhosts or FQDS). Related Topics. VPN Browsing Issues VPN Error Code VPN Logon Issues VPN Name Resolution VPN as Router ...

Yea, I figured out I can ping it. Further more, I can also get
access to it's files by putting the ip-based format into an Explorer
address bar.. (as in...\\192.169.0.153\public). So I guess it's
clear the the issue has to do with the VPN client not being able to
reslove the name.

In the mean time, I can use that IP address scheme to get at the files
& even map the drive.

What does it take for the VPN client to be able to see the Linux
Server via it's name?
