Can not access resources on VPN Server

[Ganine]

I am following up my post with the solution to the problem
I was having in case anyone else has the same
question/problem. I tried installing wins and dropping
the lmhost file and that didn't work either. I tried
manually configuring the server instead of using the
wizard and that didn't work. The only thing that worked
was installing NetBEUI on the vpn server. Now I can map a
network drive and connect to Exchange with no problem. My
current configuration is a single nic w2k server with
wins/dns installed. The nic points to itself for both dns
and wins and NetBEUI is installed on the server in
addition to TCP/IP.

I am not sure what you have against WINS. Personally, I would be quite
happy to run WINS on a network like this, but I would never consider
installing Netbeui. You now have two protocols (Netbeui and Netbt) running
independently on your network, building separate browse lists and generally
doing everything twice. And neither of them is interacting with DNS.

If you corretly configure your network using WINS, you do not need
Netbeui or Lmhosts. WINS allows you to resolve any Netbios names using Netbt
(Netbios over TCP/IP).
