XP Browse to Win2K over VPN

Steve Babcock · Apr 15, 2004

I have XP systems running on a remote network connected via a VPN to the
main network. I cannot browse to the domain although I can login as
these system were set up 'locally' first and then moved to the remote
site.

How do I configure XP to be able to browse the remote network.

Network browsing that relies on broadcasts usually does not work well over a
VPN. The solutions include using wins making sure the VPN client gets the
wins server address at logon [ipconfig /all will show] or using a lmhosts
file to find the master browser which normally is the pdc fsmo emulator for
a W2K domain. --- Steve
