RE: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only
Title: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only Can you explain the setup of the network a little? Are the clients gettingIP addresses on the same subnet as the server? Or different? can you ping the server from the clieht by name? can you ping the client from the server by name? -Original Message-From: Blake R.

RE: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only
Title: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only Why dont you want to use WINS, it would solve you problem? You can use LMHOSTS files as a replacement. There are a few issues with running the logon scripts. How many DCs? If more than one are you sure the logon script exists on all DCs? On the Win 9x clients are they using the windows login first? If so logon scripts wont run. Those clients must bypass the Windows logon when booting up, and then when they validate against the VPN server it will prompt them to logon , and run the logon scripts.

RE: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only
Title: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only Yes the clients are getting an IP from the same subnet. No I am not able to ping from the client to the server (or any other machine) by name. Unless it if one of my entries in hosts/lmhosts. Not sure from server to client. I will try that one right now.

RE: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only
Title: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only Well, as much as you hate it, the best practice solutions I can think of would be installing and configuring WINS. Or else install LMHOSTS files on all remote computers. (A potential administrative nightmare, especially adding/removing and changing servers' IP addresses) Good luck, Jason -Original Message-From: Blake R.

RE: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only
Title: RE: NT 4 VPN and TCP/IP only I do not run wins anywhere else for and browsing work fine. The only time I have a problem with browsing is RAS/VPN and I really do not want to install it just for that. LMHOSTS can work but as said before can be a big nightmare. I have 2 DC's and yes I am doing replication for the logon scripts and yes it is working. Just tried again on a 95 client without login in to 95 and when I made the VPN connection the logon script did run. Now on the next little bit for that one, what about my W2K clients that have to logon to be able to use the machine? How do I get the logon script to run for them? As log as the logon script will run I really do not care about browsing. None of the people would have a need to browse as long as the logon script ran.
