[pptp-server] delay in accessing an nt domain

[Terrelle Shaw]

I have the same problem.. but I'm not concerned so much due to the fact that
most people who would be access my vpn are on dialup.. and who wants to wait
to see machines via dialup?

Hello,

I'm having problems doing anything that uses netbios over tcp/ip via my pptp
connection.  The client is a Windows NT WS 4.0 box with SP6a, and the server
is Mandrake Linux 5.0 with poptop, pptpd, and pppd.  I can login to PPTP
just fine, but the problems begin when I try to browse the network.  I can
eventually browse the network (I have WINS servers setup) but it's *very*
slow to come up.  When I click on network neighborhood it just pauses for
about a minute, and then it pops up with all of the computers on the
network.  All standard TCP/IP communications are fine (such as telnet) -
it's just netbios that's goofed up.

As far as I can tell, this is a name resolution problem.  I have both DNS
and WINS configured correctly - what could be causing the long delay in
accessing netbios/smb/netbeui resources via my PPTP connection?

Thank you,

John Nitis
