Accessing Remote Resources across a VPN

Only non-broadcast IP traffic will pass over the VPN tunnel. This prevents browsing with
Network Neighborhood (which relies on broadcast traffic), or using LAN protocols (such as IPX,
AppleTalk, NetBEUI, etc.) to establish connections to machines at the other end of the VPN
tunnel.
Some methods by which a VPN client may access remote resources across a VPN are:
• Use the IP address.
For example, if a remote office operates a Microsoft SQL server, users at your office will be
able to access the SQL server at the server's private IP address.
• Use Windows' Find Computer tool to locate a remote workstation.
• Create an LMHOSTS file in a local computer's registry.
• Configure a WINS server to resolve a name to a remote IP address.
