One thing to note - if you're having problems seeing NetNei computers then
it's more than likely down to not having netBIOS/WINS configured for your
VPN. If you're using W2k RRAS as the VPN server then note that you have to
manually configure the WINS info on the server - if your RRAS server is
using DHCP to source it's own configuration it doesn't pass that on to it's
VPN clients.
Standard checklist for probing a VPN from the client end.. let's say your
VPN server is 10.0.0.1 (vpn.domain.local), your domain fileserver is
10.0.0.2 (files.domain.local) which has shares open for domain users only:
when connected, first test IP routing - ping 10.0.0.1 then 10.0.0.2
now test DNS using the FQDNS: ping vpn.domain.local and files.domain.local
then test authentication - Start..Run.. \\files.domain.local (you should get
the list of shares, or a re-authentication box if your membership has
faltered)
Finally try WINS/NBT - Start..Run..\\FILES (you should get the same as
above)
(it'd be nice to have a netBIOS ping, but life's never fair.)
Also remember that on a slow VPN, it can take several aeons for the full
NetNei list to populate when you first browse it after connection. VPN is a
lovely lil varmint but not known for lightning-fast performance between
modems.
