I have a new Sonicwall tz170 and VPN setup. For the last few weeks I have been having trouble getting to mapped drives via Netbios name. Via IP address works fine and at this point my only alternative is to change login scripts to map to IP addresses instead of netbios names and that looks messy.
Sonicwall support has been little help so far and they claim that the reason may be that we are connecting to the VPN with 56K modem.
Sonicwall support also thought that because I could PING the server by Netbios name that it indicated that VPN was passing Netbios traffic. To me that only meant that laptop resolved the netbios name and then pinged the server using its IP address. Am I wrong?
Anybody else have similar issue? Otherwise I may just change the login scripts and be done with it even though I hate to.
