Re: UNC, VPN site to site

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


since this is NT and xp, I would configure WINS on XP.

Hello
We deployed VPN site to Site between Site A and Site B.
On Site A are all Microsoft ressources (DNS, Wins, PDC) We use Win NT4
architecture.
On site B : only network components (firewall - wich is DHCP server, switch)
Some workstations on site B can not connect to application (http
applications, or Exchange 5.5 with Outlook client). From these workstation,
we are able to ping with success IP addresses, but we can not ping with
success UNC.
At the same moment, for other workstations on site B, applications are
running.
20' minutes later everything work !!!

We use Win2K Pro and WinXP.
For Win2K we go into the TCP/IP properties of the LAN apapter(s), Advanced
settings, DNS tab and uncheck the "Register this connection's address in DNS"
box, and Reboot. It seems to be fine now.
For WinXP we continue to have these problems.

Do you have ideas ?

Thanks.

Alain
