I apologize if ya'll got this twice, my mail client was being goofy and
I wasn't sure if it actually sent.
OK, I'm a newbie here, but I've been reading up as much as I can on
VPNs, and here is my situation.
I set up a VPN with our Netopia R9100 router and I installed PPTP and
set up DUN so that after I connect to my ISP I can connect to the IP of
the router. I can connect just fine with several NT boxes and 2000
boxes. However, when I connect with any NT4 workstation, the 2000 boxes
on the LAN can see them, but the NT boxes cannot see any network
resources. I can ping the IPs of the servers from the NT machines, but I
cannot browse, or connect via run -> \\server\share. I have checked the
lmhosts file, and it all looks kosher.
The 2000 machines can both connect to the VPN and see the network
resources just fine. I followed the documentation on Netopia's site to
the T.
I've tried installing SP6a on the NT boxes, and also upping them to the
128-bit encryption version.
We are running NAT on our intranet since we started to run out of IPs,
I'm sure if this would have an effect on this problem or not.
I'm wondering if the gateways are causing an issue since the ISP i am
dialing into is also who provides our DSL.
Any thoughts?
