Hi

I have set up a vpn. The vpn server is windows 2000. It
sits behind a linksys router. It is not a domain
controller but is on the same network as one. There is no
DNS or WINS. I can connect from the internet at home. It
logs me and gives me an IP address. Thats as far as I
get. If I go to network places and click on the domain
name it gives me this message "The list of servers for
this workgroup is currently unavailable". I can type in
net view at a prompt and I get the same message. I also
cannot ping any IP addresses except for the one its gives
me. What could be wrong? Thanks..

make sure you have correct ip configuration. the vpn server should assign
private ip, dns and dg to the vpn clients. or post vpn server and client's
ipconfig /all here.

Without WINS or DNS there is no way to resolve names of a LAN client
over a VPN connection (it doesn't use LAN broadcasts). Have you tried net
view \\IPnumber, where IPnumber is the LAN IP of a LAN server?

The only alternative is to set up hosts or lmhosts files on your client
machine, with entries for each LAN machine you want to "see" from the remote
client, so that the client can resolve names to IP addresses. You probably
will still not be able to browse the LAN using network places without WINS.

here is the problem, both server PPP adapter RAS Server (Dial In) Interface:
and PPP adapter &#9786 are using the same ip - 192.168.0.16. where does the
client get ip, dhcp or static?

I believe it is DHCP from RAS server.

OK. do a test. go to client>vpn connection>properties>network>tcp/ip, assign
a static ip that is not assigned to any computer and dns. can you ping the
server, 192.168.0.16?

Great now I can ping all LAN IPs thru VPN connection. I
cannot however connect to any shares. It states this
message when trying to map a drive, etc... "There are
currently no logon servers availible to service the logon
request". I think I am getting closer though. thanks much

Now, you need to setup the DNS to access the network resources. what's the
dns?

alternatively, you may try to map a shared drive by using ip, for example,
net use h: \\192.168.0.16\sharedfolder.
