Hi all…
I have a pptp vpn. pptp server mikrotik (of course) and windows xp client, when connect client can ping all the network by IP but name don’t. I don’t have a dns server or Wins server so can I solve it with mikrotik?
best regards. from Mexicali. Mexico
You can’t (and if there’s some hack, you shouldn’t). NetBIOS resolves via broadcasts unless you use WINS or AD. Implement WINS or AD. Or manually map in DNS.
Edit: saw you don’t have a DNS server. You do. Enable the DNS server in RouterOS for remote queries and enter static entries. The wiki has all the details on that.
what about bridging pptp clients? =)
I need to make ping by the name to one internal server so I edit the host file and work… easy jejeje
