VPN Network Access

[Guest]

Hi there,
I'm accessing VPN connection from home to my office location. I have Windows
XP PRO SP2 and a DSL connection through SBC. For some reason when I connect
to my VPN, I'm unable to browse our company's domain network via network
neighborhood or explorer all I see is my computer in the network. My laptop
was recently joined into our company's domain and had migrated by our IT
staff.

Before migration, I was able to browse our network and see certain
servers/machines I wanted to access. I was wondering is there a way to change
a setting in my pc that enables me to see all machines/servers in the network
neighborhood? Funny thing is I'm able to access particular server by going to
Start/Run then typing th whole path. Please advise. Thanks! Delbert

This is a common occurance with VPN. VON access does not normally allow for
Netboois name resolution of the TCP/IP protocol. Depending on the set up,
you may have to enable this on the client. However, if your system was
permitting this before, then the VPN ending point (your company) is not
allowing this, Ask the IT staff about this.

Actually both VPN server and my computer, Netbios is enabled (Enable NetBIOS
over TCP/IP). Is there any other setting that I need to check? Thanks.
