[VPN] windows network browsing through VPN

[TSimons at Delphi-Tech.com]

LMHOSTS works if you use the #PRE and #DOM [domainname] switches for your
domain controller, and also register your domain with proper 15 character
padding and ending with a special character in the 16th character.

I will tell you this though... If your going to NAT your VPN enties into a
DMZ network (2 firewall setup) you will run into problems with Netbios,
because it embeds the source of the traffic in the payload of the packets,
which destroys any transform rules.

This setup looks like this:
Client===[VPNGW]--<virtualNATnetwork>--[CorpFW]--<PrivateNetwork>

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....
