WINS-Problem when logging in via PPTP

Hi!

I've got a problem with my Notebook (WinXP SP1) and the local WINS-Server when connecting via PPTP.

When i'm connected locally, everything's ok, but if i go home with my notebook and connect via pptp, there comes a message saying something lik "name already exists in network".

If i then delete the name-entry on the wins-server, everything works fine. Seems like the wins-updating doesn't work. what can i do?
When connecting via another network segment in the company it works fine, so I think it's definitively an astaro-problem.

thanks for help!

Robert

Could it be that when using PPTP, your notebook gets another IP, which sort of "confusses" the WINS server?

Yes, it gets an IP from the PPTP-Pool. But this should be no problem because if I am connected from another subnet in our company's net, i don't have any problems.
