How to control "Network Discovery" with Group Policies?
Hi Kerry
Yep, it fits my needs :-)! It´s an easy way to control "Network Discovery"! But it doesn´t solve the main problem: Windows Vista requires an open port 139 and NetBIOS enabled on the server to map a server share through a VPN connection - very poor for security!!! But Microsoft is goin´ to fix that problem, they confirmed! Best regards Robert

I'll have to play with that. I have several customers who use VPNs from
remote offices to the head office server. That does sound like a bit of a flaw. Thanks for the update on the group policy issue. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Robert Fischer" wrote in message ... Hi Kerry Yep, it fits my needs :-)!

I tested this with a VPN to a SBS 2003 server. I don't need port 139 open on
the router. Port 139 is normally open on a Windows server and shouldn't be a problem on your internal network. Same for NETBIOS. I would be concerned if 139 had to be open on the public facing IP but I don't see this. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User www.vistahelp.ca "Robert Fischer" wrote in message ...
