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

    if you're connected to the VPN and you do an nslookup on your remote machine (with the VPN client)
    Do you get a proper response from the corportate DNS-server (192.168.10.1)? Can this machine resolve the netbios names of the devices you want to reach (adding the domain name itself)?
