LAN browse probs thru VPN

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Broadcast Name Resoultion or browsing are particularly troublesome
without access to a WINS or DNS server.

If you do have a WINS and/or DNS server at your office, make sure you
access the DHCP Relay Agent to your RRAS configuration, otherwise the
DNS and WINS information won't be properly passed on to the VPN
Clients. Windows 2000 Help covers the DHCP Relay Agent.
