I had misread- I thought the DC was the one "remote." I think
-but am not sure- that WINS should have handled any "netbios" stuff
including locating the DC. I could be wrong tho. Can you try editing
the lmhosts file on the Win 2003 machine to provide the DC info?
Is the sonicwall configured for a site-to-site VPN (i.e. the IP
addresses at both ends are explicitly configured) or is the Win 2003
machine configured as a regular single user remote PC (what sonicwall
calls a GroupVPN account.)
Sonicwall may have some options to redirect netbios but I am pretty sure
you should not need this.

The W2K3 server is not the VPN client, the VPN client is a Sonicwall
device. However, the side that has the DC (samba), the DC server also
initiates the VPN (openswan). IPSec starts before samba.

that have a route to the remote network? Is the server IS the vpn
client, does the connection is being made by a service (prior to the
user login) or you just connect to the VPN after login?

How do the clients get IP addresses? You could try adding the WINS
server value to the client ip address (either statically or via
DHCP.) Then they should be able to get the necessary netbios name
info even tho they are on a separate subnet.
Why do you have the DC "distant" from the clients that it supports?

Yeah. I don't think it's the VPN blocking traffic. I think my WINS
server is not functioning properly. I'll keep working at it.

Are you sure,
I thought with ipsec there could be netbios bypassing the tunnel.
Shares and dns are always working.

Daniel,
I'm using ipsec for a VPN. Since all shares are working and name
resolution all netbios packets seem to be traversing the VPN no
problem.
Thanks.

Hello,
as far I know you need a vpn with netbios enabled. This can be
done witch
openvpn in briding mode. Or with a router having this option.
Greetings
Daniel

Betreff: [Samba] Samba over VPN
Have a 2003 server located outside of the Domain network over a VPN.
The server originally existed inside the network (10.1.1.0/24) but
now
exists on 10.10.12.0/24. I can access shares over the VPN to the
domain
controller, but when I try to log in as a domain user it says the
domain
is unavailable.
I added the domain controller as a WINS server on the 2003 server.
nbtstat -c on the 2003 does list the domain controller and the
domain.
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nbtstat -c
Local Area Connection 2:
Node IpAddress: [10.10.12.244] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table
Name Type Host Address Life [sec]

CRCOMPUTER<1C> GROUP 10.1.1.1 390
CRCOMPUTER<1B> UNIQUE 10.1.1.1 387
FORTISSIMO<20> UNIQUE 10.1.1.1 430
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
Is there a way I can test the WINS server to definitely make sure
it's
working? Is it that SAMBA isn't broadcasting itself over the
10.10.12.0
(VPN) network?
