[pptp-server] windows domain host recognition

[Ed Wood]

Hey Folks.
  I'm working on getting pptp clients access to an NT file server which is
in the same subnet as the pptp server.  I have added the line " ms-dns
X.X.X.X " to the /etc/ppp/options file so the client has a DNS server in
that subnet.  This subnet contains linux boxes and NT boxes, all of which
are recognized  by X.X.X.X which is a DHCP and DNS server.  All of the
boxeswhich are on the internal network can now be pinged from a command line on
the NT PPTP client.  They can also map network shares to Y.Y.Y.Y (the file
server) but they can't map shares to \\fileserver\share.

  Why would the name resolution work from a command line but not from a
windows explorer?  Why would it allow shares to Y.Y.Y.Y and not
\\fileserver\share?  Any ideas (other than setting up a WINS server too
which I'm trying to avoid at this point)?

Thanx in advance.
