ROUTERKID1....thanks for the advise but i can't find netbeui in server2003??? and also who can assist me with the original question?

To Routerkid1's point :
that's not true - if you install WINS on your windows 2003 server, and if you configure your VPN client to use WINS; and configure your local clients to use WINS also, then you will be able to browse the network just fine
Don't use Netbeui - you don't need it anymore

kwigen : you should look on the client, not on the server
Disable netbeui on the client,
set up WINS on the server,
configure all clients to use WINS and you will be fine
(if you are using DHCP, then you can set the WINS server and the node type (set to hybrid) options in the DHCP scope options

good luck

peterve, thanks for your response....
how do i set up the wins on the server?
thanks.

 

[peterve]

well, it's as easy as adding the WINS component to the server,

(go to add/remove software, add/remove windows components, look for networking services and enable 'WINS'
You don't need to configure anything within the WINS service. It just runs and does what it's supposed to do.

Then make sure your server itself and all of the clients to use the IP address of the server as their primary WINS server. (TCP/IP properties)
Reboot and you're all set

good luck
