Hi everyone… this one has me tearing out the little hair I still have left…
I have an established MS Small Business Server network with a DSL Internet connection and incoming VPN that works very well – all Windows clients that connect to it can do *everything* over VPN that they can do in the office.
The challenge is with the one user who has a Macbook. I have set up a VPN connection and it works – the user can send & receive e-mail (Exchange server on the same SBS). But the problem comes when trying to browse network neighbourhood (works just fine in the office but doesn’t see any computers when connected via VPN).
So evidently the Mac doesn’t “get” netBIOS over TCP/IP when using VPN. Does anyone have any experience of getting it to work? I don’t like the Apple’s user interface at the best of times, and trying to find any place that I can configure stuff or do troubleshooting in it is a “little” frustrating. For instance, how do I go direct to a network resource by typing in “\\servername\sharename”? Doesn’t look like you can.
I’d really appreciate some input on this one! Thanks!
