cannot ping certain workstations through hostnames

[Greg]

Hello

We have a problem where certain pcs cannot be pinged through a VPN session.
Please note that other pcs that are in the same DHCP scope can be pinged from
a workstation connected to the VPN. I have tried to change the IP setting on
the affected workstations to NetBios over TCP/IP, but that didn't work. The
local windows firewall is disabled on all pcs (its set this way in group
policy), so that isn't an issue. I have flushed the DNS tables on the
"problem" pcs, but that didn't work either

I am at a loss here....anyone have any thoughts? Something in the registry
that needs to be changed?

Thanks for your time

Regards

Greg
