Netgear FVS318 to client, cannot browse network

[jim7808]

Hi,

I have a netgear FVS318 connected to my network of windows XP pro computers. I have a remote laptop system also Windows XP Pro running Netgear Client Software. I have set up a connection between the two systems in many ways and can establish a succesfull connection each time.

My problem is that I cannot browse the network on my LAN. I can Ping computers IP in either direction.

DHCP is assigned automatically via the FVS318

I have read some of the questions and answers on tek tips that suggest my dns or wins maybe incorrect. How can i tell if these are set correctly.

Thanks

I know this is simple - but do you have netbios enabled in the vpn settings of the fvs318?

Try using Windows computer search via the start menu to find computers on your network. Type in the exact name of the computer and see if that works.
