Apr 15, 2016 · Yesterday, NetBIOS name resolution just stopped working for me. I had put my Windows 7 workstation onto the network of a large corporate customer, and noticed I could no longer reach remote VPN machines using their NetBIOS names. That’s OK, I thought, when I get back onto my home network, all will be well.
NetBIOS is a non-routeable protocol. You will need to have a WINS server setup at the VPN endpoint, and configure your remote clients to use that WINS server. Are people really still using NetBIOS ??? You should REALLY transition to a DNS based name resolution setup. VPN clients use WINS to resolve NetBIOS names for hosts on the internal network. WINS makes it possible for VPN clients that are not configured with a primary domain name to resolve the names of computers on the internal network. Nov 13, 2013 · More likely, the NetBios name for the the RDP service got lost in the move off DHCP, which is why your SMB names show up but RDP for the same device is not showing up in NetBIOS. less likely, the sequence of name resolution got switched around. this is (slightly) off-topic as your vpn is working (you can connect using the IP). Whether Netbios works (or any other protocol) is a different matter. Try changing your netbios setup on the VPN server so that it announces the right workgroup over the tun interface (Samba REMOTE ANNOUNCE config option, IIRC). cheers, JJk
Nov 30, 2016 · I do not understand why the current approach is to use NetBIOS by default rather than DNS or why that isn’t a straight-forward option during the creation and configuration of the DFS namespace. After the namespace was recreated, I tested with all of my clients and found the Mac over VPN was now able to connect in addition to the other cases.
Important. It is important to: Install two Ethernet network adapters in the physical server. If you are installing the VPN server on a VM, you must create two External virtual switches, one for each physical network adapter; and then create two virtual network adapters for the VM, with each network adapter connected to one virtual switch. NetBIOS only recognizes the first IP address assigned to an interface. Use DNS and WINS Servers for Client Computers If you use WINS or DNS for name resolution at one end of the branch office VPN tunnel, clients at the remote site should also use those WINS or DNS servers, or a local DNS server that can resolve the names of those remote resources. May 10, 2008 · On the VPN client’s network adapter , under TCP/IP properties, advanced, WINS, you also need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. WINS is also your only option for browsing the remote network. In order for this to work, you will need replicating WINS servers configured at both ends of the VPN tunnel. vpnで会社につなぐことは認められているので、会社のサーバに置かれた資料を見ながら宿題をすることになります。 しかし、どーもVPNとWindowsネットワークの相性が悪く、サーバに接続できないことが多いため、1年以上放置していたのを、目の前の宿題から
Feb 15, 2018 · Enabling Netbios over TCP/IP on the VPN link should be sufficient if you are running a single subnet LAN. I don't use it myself because it was not available in early versions of RRAS and I got used to using WINS or DNS. Why not enable WINS on the server? It is pretty simple and doesn't need much setup. I have never been a fan of using an
unless you have a very small network you have to run WINS anyway as NETBUI (the non IP NetBIOS is a L2 protocol only. You could extend this over a VPN by using (SRB) source route bridging (it puts the L2 protocol in a special tunnel) and then run it over a VPN.
