Network Neighborhood on VPN Client

[David Gillett]

  This might be related to a couple of quirks I'm seeing.  We run a
primarily NT network using an Altiga VPN concentrator.  Remote NT users
(local logon to their machine) start up the client, enter account, password
and domain name, and they're in and logged on to the domain.
  But when I run the client on my 98 SE machine, two odd things happen:

1.  I have to enter account/password/domain twice -- apparently, once to
authenticate against the VPN gateway, and once to actually log onto the
domain.

2.  Network Neighborhood never does get populated.  I can ping, share (via
NET USE command), etc, so this isn't intolerable, but it does sound rather
like Marcel's case.  [And I have WINS set up and its address being given out
by DHCP, which works fine for clients running NT....]

> Hi all,
>
For users we like to have a VPN server so that people at home can connect to
te office by Internet. We use different clients (Win9x/NT)
When I browse by network neighborhood I don't our servers at the office. At
the office all server are NT 4.0. The VPN Server is also a NT.
Connecting and a ping to a server at the office is working fine, but you
have to know the server and share name to connect.
Who can help me to solf this challenge.
