asked on

Pfsense site to site VPN browsing

Hello guys ! (and girls i guess ;) )

It's probably simple for you but for me, it's a real pain. I'm not a network tech so i might ask for "stupid question" over the process.

Let's start with my config


Site 1:

DC, AD, DNS server, DHCP server, WINS server (server 2003). Network  on 192.168.10.0/24 connect to a pfsense 2.1 box used as gateway with fixed IP on both nic cards.


Site 2:

DC, AD, DNS server, DHCP server, WINS server (server 2003). Network on 192.168.20.0/24 connect to a pfsense 2.1 box used as gateway with fixed IP on both nic cards.


No problem connecting with the IPSEC VPN and i can access everything by IPs at the other end but i can't find a way to get it by hostname. I know it might be a simple thing but i'm stuck with that. People have to use shared folders on both network and i dont want to change all the links and shortcuts.

I also try to do it with an sonicwall (tz170) at one end but with the same result.

Other question, did i should use OpenVPN and leave IPSEC ?

Thanks in advance !

@ Mr Roe: With +- 50 machine in 3 offices, i will give it a try only if i have no other choice but thanks for the advice.

@khalsaComputer: I already try to put the second DNS server as second one in pfsense without success. For the fowarder, i have to read about it cause i just dont get it with pfsense.

I will be back soon with test result.


EDIT: finaly make the lmhost trick as solution.

Thanks guys !
