I am running Astaro Linux V5 and have set up a VPN PPTP tunnel. I am able to connect and ping my network computers by ip address and access IP based stuff that I should only be able to access on the private lan, but when I go to the network neighbourhood I can't see the computers for my lan at all.
I know I need WINS and it's installed on the private network, but I am unfamiliar with Astaro and I don't know how to open up the ports to allow WINS.
I don't think its a good idea to do that but I need to be able to access my shares through VPN and I can't do that I keep getting the network path not found error. I can't even access shares through ip. eg)\192.168.1.1\share it still gives me network path not found.
Is Wins really the issue?
Thanks !
