Raptor Mobile VPN to LAN though dial-up, cannot browse Network Neighb.

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

Please, I've been trying to solve this problem for a while:

I set up a VPN from client W2K with raptor mobile version 6.5.3 (SEVPN) to our firewall raptor version 6.5 though dial-up connection.

result:

- connect to the firewall, OK
- can take control of the LAN PC with PC-duo, OK
- can ping PCs on LAN by IP address, OK
- cannot ping PCs on LAN by their names, NOT OK
- cannot browse Network Neighborhood, error message " server cannot be contact .."
- nslookup displays our internal DNS as default server, as set up on the VPN rule, OK
- ls -d <domain> works fine , OK

remark:

- I checked the dial-up properties that allow file sharing, (it's disable by default with W2K)
- NAT is not used on VPN rule, should I?
- the IP address is not on the same range as LAN IP addresses.

Many thanks for your help,

When you set this user up on the Firewall did you setup a VPN Users Group. If so, look under the VPN parameters tab on the group. In there should be a place to put the WINS server.

Either that or you can setup a Hosts/LMHosts file on the user that will also do the Name->IP address translation.

Hopefully this will help you.
