I have created a VPN tunnel between two sites and can ping by name and IP address all the PC's and servers at each site. I am using ADSL and 2 Cisco 837 routers.

However, I cannot browse any of the PC's/servers at either site when uing the tunnel. When I revert back to using our leased line connection(using Avaya routers) I can browse fine.

Do I have an ACL problem on the Cisco routers? Can somebody please help?
 
Please post config..sounds like need to deny nat accross the VPN tunnel.
 
If you can ping by name and IP address over the VPN tunnel then NAT is not an issue as the VPN is working fine. Generally, if trying to browse using NetBIOS then this doesn't work due to the broadcast traffic required for this not being broadcast across a VPN link. The normal method would be to use a WINS server.

Chris.
