I am having a huge problem here. I am using a cisco pix 501 for the firewall and router on a network with about 20 machines, all windows xp home. I need to configure a vpn that will work without wins or a server (my company should be the king of lowballers). I have read tech docs on cisco tac and it states that IPSec dosen't encapsulate NetBios traffic. The only other two options i have is PPTP and L2TP. I have a static IP and dns servers. I am able to connect fine and ping fine but cannot see any of the computers on the inside interface. Is there anything i can do to get around the wins server. Please any info would be greatly appreciated, i have spent countless hours on this already. Thanks.
 
Figured it out

Nevermind I figured it out. If you add the ip and host name to the host file you will be able to map a shared with the ip or name.
