My VPN Address is in a Virtual Pool on the Firewall I am using. I am able
to connect to any other server other than a Samba server. If it was a
network related issue would it not be having a problem on all the servers?

Is your VPN server on the same segment? I only ask because in our
company, our VPN segment is isolated with it's own DNS servers. My
guess is that when you come in via VPN, you are using a different DNS
server and you are not registered. Instead, you are using NetBIOS for
name resolution. Try putting an A host record on the DNS server used by
your VPN server.

Hi all!
I am from the Windows world and am trying to migrate to Linux and have
done
a fairly good job so far.
My recent challenge is that I have built a Samba file/print server that
works very well on my internal network but when I VPN into the network
remotely I am unable to access the server via it's server name. What is
driving me crazy is the fact that the last of my Windows servers is a
file/print server as well and I am able to access it without issues. Is
this a simple NetBios Port change or is this something else that I am
missing?
If anyone has some pointers as to what I can do to resolve this issue I
would be grateful.
Thank you
James Taylor
