Sorry for the newbie question here. After weeks of playing around with <br>the settings, I can finally establish a VPN tunnel from my road warrior <br>laptop running Ubuntu 8.04 to my company's sonicwall 4100 running <br>XAuth. (The big trick turned about to be enabling a setting on the <br>sonicwall to allow clients to connect without forcing DHCP.)<br><br>At any rate, once connected, I can ping the IP addresses of hosts inside <br>my company (e.g. 192.168.253.11). However, neither the command line nor <br>samba will recognize any of the machines by hostname (e.g. fileserv12 or <br>fileserv12.mycomp.int). Therefore all of my Nautilus samba shortcuts <br>are not working.<br><br>Is this a DNS problem? I know the IP addresses of our corporate DNS <br>server, but don't know what to do. We are running a Windows domain, but <br>my Ubuntu box is not on the domain.<br><br>Any help is much appreciated.<br><br><br /><hr />Want to do more with Windows Live?
