[pptp-server] OK, What's the magic?

If you can ping properly then it probably is a name resolution problem.

Use a lmhosts file for windows based commands like net use,

Use a Hosts file for socket based commands like ping, ftp, etc....

If you have a wins server on the network then look in the docs for info
about the wins-server option.

I know VPN should be a breeze -- I've had little luck with trying to set it
up, but I see things going back and forth here like a lot of people are
successfully using it.  I seem to have been able to create the connectivity
(I've used both pptpd/ppp and vpnd at different times), but I just can't get
one Windows 98 machine on one net to see the Windows 98 machine on the
other!  Yes, it is driving me bonkers...  My ideal setup would be two places
each with dhcp and masquerading and each with a connection to internet then
I would use pptpd or vpnd to connect the 2 via linux (now using 2.2.12).
And this is where I am now.  Just can't get these guys to see each other.  I
can ping, etc. but I can't "find computer" or see the networks via Windows.
I keep thinking this is some sort of routing issue, but I've tried
everything that I can think of.  What's the trick, guys?  What am I
missing??

Thanks!! -- Joe B.
