site to site vpn - what is required to map device ? WINS problem ?

[scott]

Hi,

I have 2 sites, connected by a router to router VPN. I am unable to browse
network neighbourhood or map a device from one subnet to the other but
Citrix ICA clients work over it using IP address (i must admin i have only
tried mapping using host name not IP).

I simply need to map a device from one site to the other using "net use
LPT1 \\server\printshare".

What areas should i be looking at in other to allow me to run the command ?

Is this just WINS related ?

Thanks for any pointers.
Scott

Odds are a back-to-back VPN doesn't support NetBIOS. Use IP address instead
of NetBIOS name. If you need more resolutions use the lmhosts file.

DNS and/or WINS will do this. It's a name resolution issue, plain 'n simple.
