It's possible, but I'm not sure exactly how...you may have to write code to do this. You may also be able to do something with NAT (ie NAT <local broadcast address> to <remote directed broadcast address>), seting up mirrored rules on each end for bi-directional communication. If this works at all, you'll have to put filtering rules in place to prevent loops (or you'll loose all your available bandwidth when the first broadcast packet hits your network). A bit of reading up on things like broadcast storms, beat-down, and TCP/IP networking fundamentals (especially the parts about why broadcast packets do NOT go through routers) would probably also be a good idea... Reading between the lines: If you're really asking how to get windows network neighborhood to show resources on both sides of your VPN link, please refer to Samba and/or M$ networking documentation. NOTE: For M$ networking to work properly this way, you must have NT domains that cross the VPN...Samba supports workgroup browsing across the VPN.
