Configuring NetBIOS Bridging with VPN

Windows networks use the Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) for several basic
network services such as naming and neighborhood device discovery. Because VPN routers do not
normally pass NetBIOS traffic, these network services do not work for hosts on opposite ends of a
VPN connection. To solve this problem, you can configure the VPN firewall to bridge NetBIOS
traffic over the VPN tunnel. To enable NetBIOS bridging on a configured VPN tunnel, follow
these steps:
1. Select VPN from the main menu and Policies from the submenu.
2. Click the VPN Policies tab, then click the edit button next to the desired VPN policy.
3. In the General section of the Edit VPN Policy screen, click the Enable NetBIOS checkbox.
