|    Zywall 10 II vs. NETBIOS names    |
|    04 Oct 04 00:32:22    |
      From: rogblake10@iname10.com              I've just set up a small LAN that has a Linux system running Samba       Server configured as PDC and WINS server for the local network. VPN       access is through a Zywall 10 II internet gateway, with SSH Sentinel       1.4 used to call the Zywall from the outside world.              Setup was straightforward thanks to Zyxel's technical notes. However,       in testing (using a Windows XP workstation + SSH Sentinel) it only       seems to be possible to access LAN resources (such as server shares) by       IP address, and not by NETBIOS name. Even if the name is added to the       workstation's LMHOSTS file along with the corresponding IP it is not       recognized.              A short knowledge base article on the Zyxel web site said to turn off       the NETBIOS filter, but as far as I can see there is no such filter       active. (Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?) My preference would       be for getting WINS working if possible since computers on the LAN       other than the file server have dynamic IPs. Anyone know if this       is possible and if so how to set it up?              --        Roger Blake        (Subtract 10 for email.)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
