Topic: IPSEC VP not seeing e-smith server on other network

[Jay D]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but ......

I have two e-smith boxes (v5.5) at different locations running the freeswan for v5.5.  I think I have everything set up correctly.  I'm able to ping IPs on the internal network from the other network.  However, when I go to Network Neighborhood on a client machine I don't see the computers on the other network.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Did you update the "local networks" section of the e-smith-manager?

Lloyd,

Yes, I have updated the local networks in the server manager.  I'm pretty sure that I did the correctly.  I am able to ping workstation, even the server, on the remote network.

I'm currently exploring the need to modify the smb.conf template.  Hopefully it's something as simple as modifiying the RemoteBrowseSync.

Thanks for your time.

It had to deal with setting the WINS server on the "client" network of the VPN.  The "client" server set to use the "server" e-smith box as the WINS server.  But, I wasn't even using the "server" SME box as the WINS server because a router was DHCPing the Ips not the SME box.  So after setting the SME box as the WINS server everything worked, I could now see both networks in Network neighborhood.
