Linksys VPN with Sentinel Can't Browse

[hostagency]

Hi - I've set up a VPN from my home on XP Pro using Sentinel 1.3 to a small office with 2 Windows 2000 Pro machines behind a Linksys VPN router with Netbios enabled over TCPIP on both sides and on the router's VPN config. I have the usual 192.168.0.0 subnet in the office and added an address from the same range to Sentinel at home also.

The VPN connects perfectly - and I can ping the LAN address of the router 192.168.0.1 no problem, but I get a request timeout when I try to ping either Win2K machine 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101. Also I can't browse the Microsoft Windows network to see the office workgroup.

It's a pretty standard setup, but I'd at least like to be able to map a drive to the IP even if I can never get the browse to work.

Any help and Advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Del

Your Sentinel should be anywhere else than 192.168.0.x. VPN is routing not bridging.

Sentinel/BEFxx combo does not support NetBIOS passthru, so just connect \\remote.LAN.IP\remoteshare.

Pls recheck the instructions e.g. here:

No tweaking.
