Very Computer

Ok so I am new to VPN's so please be gentle on me...

We have purchased 2 netgear FVS318 VPN firewall routers to connect a remote
office to our SBS2000 LAN.
I have configured the fvs318's and established the VPN, however I am unable
to connect to the Terminal server. By the way, The FVS router is connected
to the SBS LAN directly, not to the external interface of the SBS box.

The main objective is to connect to the TS however I am also unable to
browse the SBS LAN.

The confusing part here is that I can however ping (by IP or name) the
servers from the remote site and also ping (by IP or name) the remote
workstations from the SBS LAN. This tells me that the fault is probably not
a routing or resolution problem...
When I try to logon to the domain from through the VPN the system seems to
stall at "Loading personal settings".

What have I missed?

The SBS server runs DNS and WINS, I have added these to the workstations on
the remote LAN.

Other WAN links I have setup have been ISDN and my understanding is that
this should behave the same except no broadcast traffic will go over the
VPN.

If you need anymore info please ask...

Thanks for any advise.

Try to do an nslookup to see if you can resolve hostnames to IP addresses and
see if you can access the terminal services and file shares through typing in
the actual IP addresses.

Also, do you have ISA Server turned on on SBS?

If you can detail out your network topology I think it would help as well.
