Dear all,
I have a CISCO VPN client installed on a Windows XP. I am using pppoe dial-up to access internet. I use the CISCO VPN client dial to a PIX515e firewall to my office. After the VPN connection is successfully connected, i cannot access the server in our office by using hostname. It is OK for IP address. What is the proble of it?
Is not a VPN problem. You need to resolve the name. If the VPN connection doesn't provide a WINS server (and obviously you have one) you can act on the hosts file located on windows in the %SYSTEMROOT%\\system32\\drivers\\etc folder. Follow the syntax explained within the file hosts and put IP and name of your server. If you have multiple servers to reach you need a WINS server.
HTH Alex.
