Remote Network Access using PIX

[mafairhurst]

I am setting up a remote site to access the network at our main office using two PIX501's.

I have established a tunnel between the two sites which allows me to ping from one network to the other and back again. However I cannot log on to the network or access any of the shared resources.

I am assuming this is a windows networking issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards

First you should verify that the servers are IP-reachable. That step eliminates IP settings like the default gateway pointing to anything else.

With IP connectivity OK, you should be able to set up a share using //ip-address/sharename. (No domain, using local accounts.)

Enabling WINS allows you to use windows naming services. With more recent windows versions, DNS and ADS might be the preferrable choice.

Logging onto a domain without a local domain controller will require all this or an lmhosts file.

Leo,

I assume that by "IP-reachable" you mean that I can ping between the remote PC and the server, and vice versa. I can.

One of the shared folders on the server (10.2.5.5) I am tryung to access is "Projects"

The command //10.2.5.5/projects returns the reply

The network path was not found.

We do not have a local domain server, I would appreciate any advice on setting up WINS.

Regards

Mike
