Cannot resolve DNS through a site to site VPN using a tz210 at the main site and a tz190 a the remote site.

I have a windows2008 server at the main site with a tz210 and at the remote site I have a tz190, both running the enhanced OS.  The main site ports seem to be open but the remote site is not.  I did all the same configuration I did with the tz210, I do have VPN setup betwee the site also.  Firewall is pretty much off on both devices, I turned the firewall and the service off on the computer and still when I try to join the domain from the remote to the main office it cannot fine the server.  When I search the server by its ip address it opens up but when I use the \\name it cant find it.  How can I get the routers to allow resolving of the DNS on and stay on, also how can I these routers to port forward wtihout having issues.  I even turned on IP helper on the routers and still nothing.  HELP..........

Where is the reflexive?
I don't get this, one minute I can use (\\domain) the next I can't.  ISP is not blocking anything, I need these ports to stay open at all times.  What must I do?
Reflexive means both ways. So a rule from Tunnel to lan and LAN to tunnel
Make sure you can reach DNS server, if so por 53 opened, if so netbios opened, if so FQDN defined.
Come to find out, it was the IP helper that did the job.
It was the IP Helper that did the job.  I did not have to setup reflexive.
Awesome. It's still a magic little setting for me but it seems to do the trick
SomethIng so simple....thanks
