[pptp-server] Connecting remote sites w/Samba

I actually had 2 WINS servers, the main one was an NT server and the remote
one was the PPTP linux box.

The remote clients had the linux box as a primary WINS and the secondary as
the NT (to make it quicker for local machines). The local main site had the
settings reversed.


thanks,
George Vieira

made one of them the only wins server? or made both of them wins servers?

I did do it once where the box at the remote office, the linux router was
a member of the other office's domain, and was a wins server.
