Hi David, Check out your WINS settings it is something to do with that. I had a similar problem but can't recall the exact solution. If you look on google or elsewhere you can search on the exact error message. I think it is also in the docs and HOWTOs on www.samba.org

When connecting to the internet from home (or where ever), DNS is probably provided by an ISP. When at work, DNS is probably provided by an internal server, or each server within your network is defined within a hosts file. For win2000, if you add an entry (for \\hp-cad) to your lmhosts file (somewhere in C:\WINNT\system32 if I remember correctly) it should resolve the issue. If not, then just consider me a really bad guesser! - James ------------------------------ Original Message ------------------------------ Subject: SAMBA and VPN From: "Norman, David (SAAS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, January 28, 2004 4:06 pm To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ > Morning, all. > We are having a problem with users unable to access SAMBA shares when using > VPN.
