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

    Your VPN-client (Jaketest) is in the 192.168.10.x network when connected to VPN, so is the WINS server (and DNS).
    Your subnetmask is 255.255.255.255, that looks a little strange to me. Can you ping 192.168.10.1?
    Furthermore, are the machines you want to reach by netbios name configured to use the same WINS-server?

    Is prodent-domain.lan the domainname configured at the UTM-side or just at the client with the VPN-connection? (I still think DNS is a better way to try and solve this).

    Yes I can ping 192.168.10.1 and yes the clients are configured to use the WINS server at 192.168.10.1.

    How would I do this with DNS? Honestly I do not care how this gets done I just want it to be done. I have been toying with this for days .. 

    Thanks again for your help , I really could use it
