PPTP Problems

pearl
Hi I'm Running Astaro Linux Security V5.  I have a PPTP tunnel from remote hosts (road warriors) to the private network (our local lan)

I can authenticate and connect to it, however I can't access any of my networks shares. 

I tried accesing them by IP but I constanltly get the error message network path no found. 

I tried browsing to network neighbourhood and there is none for the private network....

I can ping each computer on our network by IP and access other IP based services only allowed on our private network.

I think that it's a wins issue, and there is a WINS server running on the private network.  But I don't know how to enable the firewall to allow WINS broadcast through the VPN Tunnel.  

Or if this is even the case.

Can anyone help.  THANKS!

    You don't need WINS. Browsing for the Windows servers won't work, since ASL drops the Microsoft broadcast packets.

    What does work, is connecting to the Windows share via the IP address.
