Brandon,
Indeed. The VPN client will disable NetBIOS name resolution unless the
option is enabled and a WINS server IP address is specified in the site
configuration. It's essentially this setting ...

You shouldn't need to bounce the NIC in order to get DNS working. Are
you using a virtual adapter or an existing adapter in your site config?
Thanks,

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for replying to me. I only saw your response now.
That is correct, I have found that if I do not enter a WINS address it
disables the NETBIOS on the local NIC.
Strangely enough, during the initial setup, I was prompted for a login
whenever WINS was enabled and I wanted to connect the VPN. So I left it out.
Most likely a PEBKAC moment..
But now, as long as I enter an IP address(ANY) in the WINS field, in the VPN
Site Configuration, NETBIOS stays enabled and the VPN connects with no other
network problems.
Thanks for that information, I did not know ShrewSoft requires any address in
its WINS configuration for NETBIOS to stay enabled.
PS. after playing around more with the WINS settings in ShrewSoft now, I found
I need to bounce the NIC in order to get the DNS working again, even though
all settings look standard, and /flushdns does not work.
