[pptp-server] Can access shares on poptop server but nothing else!

[David Rankin]

Chris, George, Steve, Robert & everyone else  ---  HELP....

Thanks for all the prior help, and know I have to beg for a little more.

My setup:

Work (pptpd server):

  Linux Mandrake 7.2
  Samba 2.07 (WINS server)
  pptpd-init-1_0_1-1_i386.rpm (installed)
  Cable Modem
  Linksys cable/dsl router (Forwarded port 1723 to server)
  Lan DHCP valid client IP ranges 192.168.7.20-100

/etc/pptpd.conf
  localip 192.168.7.106-110
  remoteip 192.168.7.101-105

/etc/ppp/options
  lock
  auth
  +chap
  proxyarp
  #ms-dns 192.168.7.14
  #ms-wins 192.168.7.14
  #noipdefault
  #usepeerdns

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client      server  secret            IP addresses
david             *    realpasswd               *
jennie            *     realpasswd               *
admin             *     realpasswd               *
darren            *     realpasswd              *
amy               *     realpasswd              *

Home (client):

  Windows 98SE
  Cable Modem

After making a VPN connection to my Linux box at work from my Win98 box
at home, I can access my samba file shares, I can see but not use the
printers shared by samba, and I can see all of my other machines on the
lan in Network Neighborhood, but I still can't access any of the other
machines or printers. Winipcfg seems to reflect everything is getting
passed and authinticated OK. (see below) I have tried with ms-dns and
ms-wins enabled and disabled in the options file (thus the # comments
above) and it doesn't seem to make any difference. With ms-dns or
ms-wins set it just seems to take longer before I get the "machine not
accessable" error when trying to browse the other machines on my lan.

Bottom line, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have read all
the documentation that comes with poptop (some of the text files in
usr/doc seem wrong - suggesting machine name instead of user name in
chap-secrets) (I tried that too ;-) and I still can't get access to
anything other than my samba file shares. I can see my printer that is
shared through samba, but can't use it because it is attached to my
secretary's WinME box.

I have really about run out of things to try and really need some more
thoughts and advise from you guys.  If you can spare the time, it will
be greatly appreciated.
