L2tp/IPSEC netbios / cifis

Hey everyone ,

I need some help. How would I go about resolving hostnames over PPTP using Astaro ( free v8 ). I have read around the forums but I am finding it difficult to get a direct answer. Some people say that you need a WINS server so I setup a Ubuntu WINS ; no change.

The clients are all Windows 7. I am unsure if Windows 7 has LMhost files or if that is only windows XP , regardless this is not a solution for me.

I can ping machines on the local network over VPN but I cannot resolve host names .

Sorry if this has been covered already and I missed it , any help is much appreciated .

Would using PPTP change anything?

Thanks

All of the settings on the Advanced tab in Remote Access can be changed when one is running under a home-use license. The only functional limitations are cosmetic.

It looks like the broadcasts coming from my remote end are not being handled. I know WINS does not resolve broadcasts , how do I fix this?
