Here is what i have done so far.
On the server side port 1723 is forwaded from the router to the
server.
The PDC is the vpn,dns,wins server 192.168.1.x. On the client side i
have the address of the PDC entered in the vpn's connection dns and
wins properties
and i connect perfectly well.
I tested the wins by stopping the service on server and i could not
do a \\computername\sharename after it was stopped.
I tested DNS by stopping it on the server and i could not browse so i
know that it is working so why cant i get the browse list from server.
Im conected and my workgroup is ABAB. I can \\coputername\Sharename
anywhere on remote network, I can resolve dns from remote network but
when i view workgroup or try to browse my network Im the only computer
listed. you mentioned monitoring traffic to see where it fails any
ideas on who to accomplish that.
