This has worked for me in a Windows VPN environment:

Make sure that you do have a windows server running WINS

Make sure that the VPN connection has the WINS server IP address and DNS
server entries in its properties.

That's it!

I've tried that but it doesn't work. Neither does a HOSTS entry.

remote access, so client-to-gateway.  i've got no idea whether the
internal network is running WINS or not -- i'm providing advice in a
"friend of a friend" capacity.  i've suggested adding the domain
controller to the local LMHOSTS on the assumption that it's the master
browser for file servers in the domain, but that's a long ago memory and
i've no real idea....
