VPN CONNECTED WITH NO ACCESS TO THE DOMAIN

[dianaf]

Hello,

I have a vpn server running windows 2000, There are 2
machines that are not having access to the domain. They
are using diul-up access to the vpn through a modem
internet connection. If I click on the domain it
says "the list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available", If I put the name of the server in
the bar that is on the top like this //celtek-server, then
I can see the shared files and everything, and the most
strange thing is that when i got the vpn connected, then
my explorer can not find the pages and my messenger is not
working anymore.

Can someone help me, please??????

Thanks in advance,
Diana Milena.

what do you mean "my explorer can not find the pages". Do you mean IE doesn't work?

Any way this is quotation from

http://www.ChicagoTech.net

System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available
SYMPTOMS: 1) After enabling ICS/ICF, you can't see any computes on My Network places. If you try, you may get "workgroup is not accessible". 2) If you use the net view command, you may receive "System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available." message.
Resolutions:
1) This behavior can occur if you enable the ICF that will closes the ports for file sharing by default. To open these ports, right-click the network connection that is firewall protected> Properties>Advanced>Settings>Service Tab>Add, Enter 127.0.0.1) for the required Internet Protocol (IP) number. Enter UDP ports from 135 through 139, and TCP ports from 135 through 139 one by one (the external and internal port numbers should be identical).
2) This may occur if the workgroup name and the domain name are the different.
3) No master browser. Starting Computer Browser Service on one of w2k/xp computers should fix the problem
