I tried this, on one of the Windows computer. I changed the subnet to 255.255.0.0 which would include both of the private subnets on both networks. (the class B network subnet was just for a test, not a permanent setting). However, this didn't solve the issue. I know that NetBEUI/NetBIOS isn't a routable protocol, but what's the work around if this is the issue.

I'm guessing this system isnt broadcasting traffic across the VPN. I'm not 100% sure, but modifying the subnet mask on the windows machine might work. The easy way is to edit the lmhosts file on one of the remote windows machines - I dont remember the specifics, but the file (lmhosts or lmhosts.sam) includes some examples. > I have two E-Smith machines at different locations.
