use Network Neighborhood (Samba, NetBIOS) over IPsec?
Your local PC needs to know how to translate NetBIOS names to IP addresses. It may do this either via a local LMHOSTS file, or using a local or remote WINS server. The WINS server is preferable since it provides a centralized source of the information to the entire network. To use a WINS server over the VPN (or any IP-based network), you must enable “NetBIOS over TCP”. Samba can emulate a WINS server on Linux.
