NetBIOS is not the only thing it disables. It also resets the DNS servers to "acquire automatically". I've posted this as a bug on the developer list already. At the very least, it's an oversight. In my case I have a very specific DNS configuration that I want my mobile users to have. But when they connect to the VPN it gets replaced with whatever the default local wireless settings are. The workaround that I had to do was to write a batch file using a series of netsh commands to put it back the way I want it. The same will probably work in your case. The downside is that the user must remember to run the batch file after they connect.

Does that maybe push a NetBIOS disable back down to the network adapter used to carry the tunnel traffic? _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
