No Ping

When I connect to the VPN Server(win2k) then I can't see any PC in the network and can't ping them. But the Connection is OK, I think.
Can someone tell me why. I've no more ideas. :o(

Thx!!

The main reason for this problem is that when you try and browse for the servers on the network, your PC will use the NIC for this instead of the PPP adaptors DNS settings, thus one way around this is to add an entry in the HOSTS file on your PC, add the IP address and the name, and then it should be resolved via START RUN.

If you wanted to use the browse feature the only way I have found this to work, is to make sure the workgroup name your PC is in, is the same as the domain name or workgroup name of the VPN you are connecting to, then you will be able to browse.

hope this helps
