  You need some sort of name resolution. In NT 4 this was WINS. There is
also a issue with certain packets not being able to pass causing this to
be a issue also. You can google it, and I also will have some coffee to
kick start my brain to think of this issue and email you later in the
day.

Hello fellows,

I would greatly appreciate any help with the problem I am having:

I have a home pc which connects via Netscreen-Remote VPN software client
to my work. When my PC connected directly to ADSL modem and utilizes WAN
IP address, I connect without any problem. However since I installed
Linksys BEFSX41 router/firewall and assigned to my PC private ip, I can
ping ip addresses of PCs at work, but can't see them, map drives or
(most important) initiated terminal sessions. When I initiate terminal
session, I don't get a connection error right away, instead remote
server will present me with a terminal screen, but it will be black, and
only then I will get error: "the connection to the remote computer was
broken..." I follow instructions from Linksys site and enabled port
triggering on the router (50-50 ->incoming-> 500-500), but no luck.
Could it be a bad hardware or anything else I could try, since Linksys
tech support is totally clueless. 

I am running WindowsXP and connecting to Win2000 servers through
Netscreen 5xp VPN:

WINXP with Netscreen-Remote --> Linksys BEFSX41 -->
Netscreen
5xp VPN -->	WIN2K Server
172.16.1.100   			  172.16.1.1 - 64.x.x.x		64.x.x.x
192.168.1.200


Thanks a lot in advance.
