Vpn works but no servers by name only ip

crash893
So I got VPN working but if I type in \ markon-ws4 I get nothing but if I type in \10.10.10.66 I can get on fine


I'm missing something any ideas 

( this is the same case with my red 10 )


Thanks

    I did not set up anything for the main network and that will resolve internal network names

    Hmmm.  Well, maybe something was configured automatically.  Tell us a little more about your network.  Windows Server?  Active Directory?

    Cheers - Bob

    I'm thinking Netbios name resolution is in play here and it's known for not playing nicely (if at all) across subnets. In the absence of a WINS server, it uses broadcast packets to find hosts, which don't hop subnets.

    would the hosts file be able to take care of this if i knew all the mappings

    also i noticed that win7 has a netbois over tcp/ip would that work?


    Thanks
