Hi,

I use Sonicwall VPN client on my user laptops. I import a lmhost file on each laptop to point to the email, domain server and terminal server by IP address/name. My users get the following when logged on at work:

H:\home directory
K:\common
L:\clients

They want to be able to browse the network directories when comming in via the VPN. Would I have to add this to the LM host file or create roaming profiles?

thanks,
Rob

omg this has come back to haunt me!!!

I have dealt with this same thing before with Sonicwall. So you should be able to specify a WINS address and after the tunnel is up it should work. BUT IT DOESN'T!!! You have to use lmhost files, in fact I was even using host and lmhost files just to be extra thorough. In order to keep things up to date I pushed the lmhost and host files via a logon script.

If I remember any more I'll add to it.
