There are several things you can do to make network drives more acessable. Map the network drives so they reconnect themselves You could put together a WINS server. Setup the internal DNS server(s) to resolve hostnames You can manage the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on each computer.
I'm sure there are a couple other ways to do it, but here are a few. I think what makes it a pain is that netbios is not passing the VPN like expected. It shouldn't be that hard to make a few firewall rules to keep unwanted DHCP out.
