VPN SSL client with same local subent

ouebman
Hi,

is there some specific thing to do when the client and the office are in the same subnet ?

i can not acces to the ressource with host name, only with IP.

Thank you

Mathieu

    This is not because it is in the same subnet but because hostname resolution is netbios traffic which is broadcasted and normally not routed.
    Best solution is to use a DNS-server that can translate the hostnames (with a domain suffix), other solution may be to edit your HOSTS file on the client (This is okay for just a few static hosts, but when there are many and/or dynamically assigned IP-addresses than this is simply too much work to keep up-to-date).

    Look in Remote access -> advanced and enter the company's DNS-server IP-address (which should of course be reachable for your VPN client).
    You can also enter the domain name there (which will automatically appended to a single hostname if you don't use FQDN's).
