samba - Dec 2004 - VPN and browsing

Hi All,
   I've set up a PPTP VPN system to provide remote access to my work 
LAN, but I can't get (and cannot see how to get) computer browsing to 
work for clients connecting over VPN (they cannot see any computers in, 
and do not appear themselves in network neighbourhood).
    From my understanding, every subnet needs to elect a local browse 
master - in this situation, the only machine on the subnet is the the 
client connecting via VPN, so I assume it takes on this job. But it 
doesn't work. Can anyone shed any light on this, or suggest other ways 
of doing this please

cheers

Jim Potter

You need to configure WINS, make sure the WINS server address is
propagated to the client when they make the connection, and make sure
the client node-type is set to use WINS.

Then everything works just as if you were local.
