Re: WINS problem Help!!!

The branch office cannot ping the WINS server at the main office. Sonicwall
was able to get the wireless laptops to connect through the tunnel, so they
can access the software through terminal services, but the wireless laptops
are unable to connect to the computers on the network, because of the IP
addresses

Can the VPN client ping the WINS server by IP?

We have a hardware vpn set up between two offices. The main office
consists of Windows 2003 server and XP clients. The branch office does
not have a server, only workstations. The vpn router is wireless and has
two separate ip addresses. 192.168.x.x as the gateway for the wired,
172.x.x.x for the wireless. The main office is all set with the wireless
laptops and the wired desktops. I set up the server as a WINS server,
and was able to add the ip of the WINS server in the IP properties of the
wireless laptop. The laptop can connect to the wired network and use
resources. But, at the branch office, there is no WINS server, and the
wireless laptop cannot connect to the workgroup, and is unable to print.

What if anything can be done to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help in advance!
