VPN windows 2000 setup -
can use ip add but not
comp name
----------
Hi, I have setup VPN
server in my environment
using 2 Network Card . In
my Intranet, we do not
have internal DNS, DHCP
but we do have wins.
I
have already setup at the
Intranet network adapter
my Win server ip
address.
when we do
the vpn connection, I can
ping all the servers but
cannot ping using the
server name.
If I want
to connect to my file
server, I have to
mnaually add it in the
windows explorer using ip
address. Is there a way
to make the client
recognise the comp by
name and not ip address.
Does it got to do with
the DHCP relay agent
properties? because I do
not have DHCP
server.
By the way, my
Domain controller is
still in nT4 and not
win2000.
appreciat
e the feedbacks.

I red about Your VPN
problem
----------
Hi!
If the server
doesn't respond by name,
two situations are
likely: the server might
not have a registered
domain name, or your ISP
DNS server might be down
or not working
properly.
DNS
server translates a Fully
Qualified Domain Name
into its TCP/IP address.
When you have a DNS
server, and it's working
properly, your computer
can find and connect to
antoher computer by name.
When you don't have a DNS
server (or server isn't
working), you can't
connect to a omputer by
name. Instead, you have
connect by the
destination computer's
TCP/IP address.
As
I know, DHCP server isn't
related with the problem
you have. Anyway, try to
enable DHCP server - it's
important for some other
points in configuration
of VPN.
Thanks to
