Vista VPN to XP Pro
There are a multitude of Vista networking issues out there, and I
haven't yet found a solution for this one... I have a home network with 2 Vista machines and 2 XP Pro machines on in a common workgroup. All is well here, the machines can see each other on the network and access each other via NetBios name. I have a VPN connection to my office as well, which I use either from a Vista machine (ethernet), or one of the XP Pro machines (wireless). If I VPN via the XP Pro machine, I am able to access remote computers by their machine name (\\somecomputer), while on the Vista machine, I must use the machine's IP address. NetBios over TCP/IP is enabled for the VPN connection on the Vista machine. Are there any other simple network settings that I'm overlooking?

Vista VPN to XP Pro
Enable NetBIOS is not good enough. We need to check the DNS or WINS settings. Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.
