[pptp-server] problems with win2k client

[alan premselaar]

George,

   Thanks for the reply.  I've double-checked and I'm resolving names 
properly. i'm able to ping the host(s) no problem, but i don't get any 
response from "net view \\hostname" or the network neighborhood... (and it 
takes its time to timeout)

in explorer (network neighborhood) it times out and returns with "can't 
access \\<hostname>.  can't find network path"  (this is a loose 
translation as i'm using a japanese operating system on the w2k machine)

from "net view \\<hostname>" i get:

system error 1311: (a bunch of japanese i *can't* read) and "no login server"


any other ideas?
