DOS might need WINS? (or worse the old TCP/IP over NetBIOS, if you have that disabled, DOS may have trouble I suspect... only a pure W2k and newer network can handle that being disabled... which a lot of people do to reduce network chatter) For my pptp vpn clients (even in a ClarkConnect setup), I have to run WINS so they can successfully map drives to the file server shares through the vpn.
hope that helps, if not, good luck! :) David McD On 8/5/05, Roy Vestal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a DNS server along with 2 Windows servers that are on a private > network.
