Can you browse by IP address over the re-established VPN?

I can even browse by \\name
It's just that the Network window is empty, and when that happens, the system cannot access a printer shared by the WINS server.

Have you
tried the old ipconfig /flushdns trick either before or after
reconnecting the VPN?

Doesn't make any difference.

To recap: Samba as a WINS server, there's a Vista client that sometimes loses the Network Neighborhood. It's connected over VPN, but the VPN tunnel itself is solid, that's not the problem. The other end of the tunnel is the WINS server which is also an OpenVPN server.

Sometimes it works fine though, it sees the Network just fine, it can print, etc. Some other times nothing works. I don't understand what's going on.
