Re: After VPN conn. i am not able to ping local comp by NAME

Browsing from a remote client usually doesn't work. As Bob said, a WINS
server on the LAN is usually required. But that won't necessarily solve the
problem.

Browsing relies on Netbios names and LAN broadcasts, but LAN broadcasts
don't cross WAN links. So the remote client doesn't appear in the LAN browse
list. And the remote site can't see the browse list in your home network.

If you have WINS running on the LAN at work, you should be able to see
that browse list. It may not work though if the client is on a local LAN (as
yours is). The problem is the way that a client requests a browse list. It
will only get the browse list from the VPN server's LAN if it knows the
Netbios name of that domain.

If a standalone VPN client knows the name of the remote domain, it sends
a name request to WINS for the special Netbios name <domainname 1b> ,
which is the domain master browser. If WINS returns the correct IP for this,
the remote user can get a browse list directly from the DMB.

The browser service was designed a long time ago, long before VPN was
invented. It can cope with remote sites (because they look just like other
subnets across a router) but it can't really handle single VPN clients.
