[pptp-server] neibourhood network problem ...

[Daniel]

Whoa! I hope people are not forgetting the old workgroup issue.  That
is, if the clients on the remote side of the PPTP connection are Win9x
machines they will need to have their workgroup set to be one of the
workgroup names in use on your network.  Note, that this is only
necessary for Network Neighborhood style browsing to work, direct UNC
naming should work fine.  Also, you can setup your /etc/ppp/options so
that the clients are passed these parameters automatically using:

ms-wins XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ms-dns XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

In short make sure your network has a WINS server and a domain master
browser.  BTW: This does not have to run on the PPTP server, or even be
a Samba server.  An MS-PDC works just fine.  Next either pass the
parameter for the above using /etc/ppp/options or set it manually on
each client.  Finally, on Win9x machines, set the workgroup of the
machine to be one already in use on your network.

Good luck,
Dan
