May 10, 2008 · On the VPN client’s network adapter , under TCP/IP properties, advanced, WINS, you also need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. WINS is also your only option for browsing the remote network. In order for this to work, you will need replicating WINS servers configured at both ends of the VPN tunnel.

Over VPN clients do not seem to be using their DNS search suffix list. When attempting to ping a netbios name, the client appends it's own domain name to the lookup. The dns server responds that there no such name. The client then does nothing. From inside the LAN this works totally different. Client appends it's own domain. edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts as administrator. put them in there. never use netbios over a vpn. 192.168.123.234 MyPC. works like a charm. NetBIOS is a non-routeable protocol. You will need to have a WINS server setup at the VPN endpoint, and configure your remote clients to use that WINS server. Are people really still using NetBIOS ??? You should REALLY transition to a DNS based name resolution setup. The issue is the apparent requirement that we open NetBIOS ports through the SSL VPN device so SMS can communicate with its client-side agents. Repeated discussions with Microsoft haven’t turned Allowing NetBIOS over SSLVPN will reduce the number of problems associated with Microsoft workgroup/domain networks, as the SonicWall security appliances will forward all NetBIOS-Over-IP packets sent to the local LAN subnet's broadcast address coming from the SSL tunnel. Microsoft networking, unless explicitly configured otherwise, is heavily dependent upon local LAN broadcast messages; normally, edge security appliances such as routers, firewalls, or VPN security appliances discard these

I'm doing a site to site VPN, I don't have that option.
