unable to rdp to server name when vpn to radius netowork 1

[drummelhart]

I have successfully set up a RADIUS network with a CISCO PIX coexisting with WinSvr03 EE Domain Controller. What I cannot figure out is why when I VPN, that I can only reach 2 of my servers by name and the rest with their internal IP Addresses. Any ideas or thoughts for me to check out on my network.

Are you handing out dns and wins to your vpn client?

 

[drummelhart]

the problem was my boss never set up WINS IP address on the servers. I should have made another post to end this topic. My bad.

 

[drummelhart]

this problem was never correctly fixed, and how do I know if I am handing out dns and wins to each VPN client?

Is 10.10.100.243 truly a DNS/WINS server??

I hate all Uppercase... I don't want my groups to seem angry at me all the time! =)

[drummelhart]

it is our internal DNS\WINS DC Server if that is what you are asking.

 

[drummelhart]

I found the issue......

Our internal DNS and WINS were hosting that Server name before it could even talk to my external DC.
