   Unable to browse network shares

   Hi   
   I am using Checkpoint VPN-1 to connect a few of our home users to the   
   company network. They connect either through their local ISP dialup   
   connection or an ADSL broadband connection.   
   When connected, they are able to ping any IP address within the network   
   through the VPN, but are unable to browse any shares.   
   \\servername does not work. I get the error "there are currently no logon   
   servers available to service the logon request"   
   net use \\servername gives the error "System error 53 has occurred"   
   They can ping server names provided the server is added to the hosts file.   
      
   I don't get why they cannot see the network shares.   
   Is this a "Client for Microsoft Networks" problem? The computer I tested   
   this on did not have a firewall.   
      
   Any advice as to what may be the problem would be greatly appreciated.   
   Thanks   
   Alan
