two lans through vpn |
|
|
Hi, I have two lans that they are connected through a vpn, but from the lan
A I do not see the PC that they are in the lan B and vice versa, from the
lan A To in order access to a PC that is in the B lan must use to
\\pcname\share, even if in both the lans the name resolution happens
correctly, that is from the lan A I succeed to resolve the names of the PC
that they are in the B lan and vice versa, where is the problem?
On all client I use win2000/xp and the servers with win2000server and
win2003 server.
Thanks.

You're asking for browsing - but that relies on NetBIOS, and that kind
traffic isn't being allowed across the VPN. This can be a pain - you can set
up WINS on one server in each location & replicate between the two - or see
if you can open up the NetBIOS broadcast traffic across the VPN (but ugh...I
wouldn't).
See http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=2520
....or just use login scripts that map drives to the resources you need, so
you don't have to care about browsing anyway. |

however request how 'ping' and 'tracert' are ok ! .. but I don't know if
this can to be important ..

If WINS is not setup between the two networks then this type of name
resolution could also be trying do broadcasts to resolve the names. It may
be that your routers are blocking the broadcasts. I would reccomend
implementing WINS on either side and replicating between them.
