RE: [ActiveDir] VPN W2K Cannot See Other Computers Except the Server

Your problem here appears to be DNS.  You might want to change the DNS server on the VPN client to the IP of your internal DNS server to see if that fixes things.  This will not help you out to get to the Internet, but you can at least isolate the problem..   You could also setup a WINS server and get to machines that way, but when it comes to domain validation for access you will have to have the DNS access so your machine will register.  If the machine doesn't register with the W2K DNS server then it that can cause authorization issues.  You might also try the following at a command prompt once you get the DNS entries entered.....   ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns   Also do NSLOOKUP and see what DNS server your machine is requesting from.    I have similar issues with VPN software.  I have since switched to the CISCO VPN3005 using the unified VPN client.  I have the vpn clients authenticated via a Radius server and all the network info, DNS, WINS, etc is passed to the machine and the client handles the routing and DNS issues.  So far my users are happy!   HTH Joe Sargent   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dipowarga Wirawan Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 7:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] VPN W2K Cannot See Other Computers Except the Server Domain   -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 3:30 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] VPN W2K Cannot See Other Computers Except the Server   Is your VPN set to log into the server or Domain     Joshua Morgan PH: (864) 250-1350 Ext 133 Fax: (413) 581-4936 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Dipowarga Wirawan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] VPN W2K Cannot See Other Computers Except the Server I could connect to the server, just cannot see other computers.

The remote client is Win2Kpro (no static IP) and connect to the SERVER1 with VPN. The only computer that the remote client can see is the SERVER1, and I have to connect is with Start-Run, then type \\SERVER1\ I cannot connect and see to other computers in the network. Any idea?
