LMHOSTS and HOSTS are located in \winnt\system32\drivers\etc. Also, you might try using the actual IP address instead of the UNC name. Thats what works for me thru a CISCO VPN to our NT network from my home. The hosts that I connect to frequently I place in the LMHOSTS file and the others I connect to using the actual IP address in place of the UNC name.

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.
