Game Lan server over VPN

Hey all,

I tyring to figure this out and need help. I have Raven Shield and I'm trying to set up a LAN server. My buddy VPN's (using MS's VPN server) into my LAN, connects no problem but is unable to see the game server. I believe the problem is that the server broadcasts it's presence to the other computers on the LAN but the broadcasts aren't making it over the VPN connections thus my buddy can't see the server and there is no way to enter in an IP address for the server.

Any ideas???

Thanks

NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) name resolution proxy
When a remote access VPN client connects to a VPN server, it relies on DNS or WINS servers on the target network for name resolution.

DNS and WINS servers are common in organizations that use DNS for host name resolution or WINS for NetBIOS name resolution. However, in a small office or home office environment, these servers might not be present. In this case, the names of the computers to which communications are attempted need to be resolved by another means for successful communication to occur.

NetBIOS names can be resolved, without the use of a WINS or DNS server, by a VPN server running Windows Server 2003 because Windows Server 2003 operating systems include the NetBT proxy. With NetBT proxy, connected VPN clients and the nodes on network segments to which the VPN server is attached can resolve each other's NetBIOS names, as follows:

When a VPN client needs to resolve a name to an IP address without a configured DNS or WINS server, it sends a NetBIOS Name Query packet to the VPN server. When a node on a network segment that is attached to the VPN server needs to resolve a name to an IP address without a configured DNS or WINS server, it sends a NetBIOS Name Query packet as a broadcast on the network segment.
The VPN server receives the NetBIOS Name Query packet, checks its local cache of resolved NetBIOS names and, if the name is not found, forwards the NetBIOS Name Query as a NetBIOS broadcast on all attached interfaces, except the logical interface that is connected to all VPN clients.
The node that has registered the NetBIOS name sends a positive NetBIOS Name Query Response to the VPN server.
The VPN server receives the positive NetBIOS Name Query Response and then forwards it on the interface from which the NetBIOS Name Query packet originated to the sending node.
The result is that network nodes on network segments that are attached to the VPN server (and all connected VPN clients) can automatically resolve each other's names without a DNS or WINS server.
