on remote machine open up the HOSTS tabel which is located at<br />
<br />
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\<wbr />etc\hosts<br />
or<br />
c:\windows\system32\driver<wbr />s\etc\host<wbr />s<br />
or for Win9x<br />
c:\windows\hosts<br />
<br />
edit it as an admin using notepad and add entries for<br />
<br />
ipaddress &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; servername<br />

Hi, a server share name resolves perfectly by cleint when in the office but when connecting to the server via VPN (Windows 2000 Server Routing and Remote accesss) it shows as network path not found. However can access it via IP. Example<br />
<br />
\\SERVER\SHARE - FAILS VIA VPN<br />
\\192.168.0.100\SHARE - WORKS VIA VPN &nbsp;(192.168.0.100 being servers IP)<br />
<br />
Ideas?
