VPN User cannot see computers in the network

[Jtizzle]

Hello All,

When user connect remotely via VPN they cannot see all the computers/server , if any at all when connected through the VPN server. I'm running Windows server 2003, and the clients are using windows XP. Any ideas?

There are many possibilities.
1. the VPN client can't ping any remote computers by IP. Make sure you have enabled IP routing.
2. If the VPN client can ping IP but not name , that is name resolution issue. You may want to use WINS server.
