I want the VPN connection to get the info for the wins from the pix when it authenticates. I hope this solves the isssue of authenticating and able to ping but no actual conection allowed with anything via FQDN
 
I seem to recall a command similar to this:
vpngroup "name" wins-server 10.99.99.99

It's been awhile and I could be wrong.
 
HI.

xlee is right, you can set WINS and DNS servers for the VPN clients.
For PPTP clients type
vpdn ?

And for IPSec VPN 3.x clients you use
vpngroup ?

For FQDN - you need DNS resolution and not WINS.

You should also consider using manual name resolution as an option, like LMHOSTS file.

You should also check if your problem is name resolution and not access control.
The PPTP clients are considered coming from the outside interface (which is correct) so they need ACCESS-LIST to pass through OR the command
sysopt connection permit-pptp
