[pptp-server] Confusion/Network Neighbourhood/Samba

[tmk]

for the network neighborhood to work properly, browsing between the networks has to be functional, and in the case of pptp links, that means a wins server needs to be configured on the server's lan.

then use the ms-wins option in your ppp options file to let the clients know it's there automagically

you can use either M$ wins (free with nt) or the samba version (i think it's called nmbd?) read up on samba to learn more about that

  Greetings,
   
  I've spent the past fortnight or so playing around with poptop, the win95/98 clients, routing, etc etc. Reading through all the docs before I actually started, I thought it all looked pretty cut and dried......should've known by now as soon as I begin thinking that, it all goes pear shaped. At any rate, ive done a whole heap of stuff, trying to get this VPN working.....and I think I'm almost there. It would appear that everything works......the clients will make an encrypted connection to the server, can ping back and forth, ftp, telnet all that kind of stuff works fine.......however the Network Neighbourhood bit isnt. I *think* Samba is set up okay, but i'm not sure, as I don't know a great deal about it. however, some help would be appreciated, im up to the stage where the clients can connect, ping back and forth, and all that kind of stuff......does anyone have, or know where I can find, detailed instructions on where to go from here? I tried a whole bunch of stuff from the archives, but nothing seems to work, so some help in getting these clients to talk to each other in Network Neighbourhood would be great. 
   
  Cheers,
   
  Chris.
