name resolution over VPN
----------
Hi,
i was wondering if anyone could help with an issue i have in sharing 3
databases over VPN. i have three offices each with 2-6 workstations all
running XP Pro SP2, they are all connected using draytek 2600plus adsl
routers and seem to be fine most of the time but every so often one of
the databases cannot be accessed by the other two locations, although
the other two can still be accessed by the disfunctional computer.
it can vary which network the issue resides on. in order to deal with
this i edited the host files on all the computers and manually set the
ips.
i have also removed or disabled any firewalls and regardless of which
machine goes down i can always ping all the other machines by IP. there
are no servers running WINS all three networks are peer to peer and in
their workgroups

if this topic has been covered before i am sorry for opsting about it again, but would be obliged if someone might direct me to the relevant thread.

this has been a head scratcher for sometime and any and all help is
appreciated in adavance.

thnx
ahoman

NAME RESOLUTION OVER VPN
----------
Check the type of VPN connection you are using (PPTP, AH or MD5).
I am using Draytek 2200E, even VPN is connected, but PPTP, AH or MD5 makes difference.
