[pptp-server] Can I see the network from the PPTP Client PC ? ?

[George Vieira]

Yes but did you specify `ms-wins ##.##.##.##` in your
/etc/ppp/options.pptpd?
So your machine won't register itself into the WINS server without it.

Thanks very much Steve, it's working now. I didn't realize that those lines 
where there. It was my fault.

However, there is one more thing. Now, I can see all the PCs in the intranet

office network except the PPTP Client PC itself. And also in the intranet 
office network there is one NT workstation which share some directories, 
however each time I want to connect to this PC from any other one (the rest 
are Win'95 PCs) I get a message in the screen saying that I have to 
introduce a password for the share IPC$ and I cannot connect to it never. Do

you have any clue about what's this ??

Thanks for everything again and regards,

Fernando Ruza

Good!! WINS server is enabled.

Huh! Above you have WINS support enabled, now your disabling WINS support.
Bzzt!! Also, look at the "preferred master" setting.

Don't forget that all other Windows systems on your LAN must "register" with
the WINS server for them to be seen in Network Neighborhood from the remote
PPTP client. Otherwise the master browser list is generated through
broadcast packets. <groan>
