by default the sme box is a wins server (via samba)
you may have to tell your vpn clients about it being one though
cheers

Hi All...
If both the firewall server and Linux server are the only servers on the
network, how do I setup WINS?
The firewall is Smoothwall 2.0 Express (with all latest patches) and the
server is SME Server 6.0.1.
Thanks
Michael

Have you enabled packet forwarding between the local network interface
and the ip addresses of the pptp clients?
Also, I think you'll find that it picks up its ip, dns etc. from the
pptp server rather than dhcp.
You might also find it useful configuring a wins server on the network
for netbios name resolution.

How do I do this? It picks up the correct DNS settings and IP address
from
DHCP and I can do a DNS lookup for a PC on the internal network, but
when I
try to ping it, it says "Request timed out".
