Re: [Openvpn-users] Openvpn + ms office 2003

[Thomas Klettke <thomas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Axel,
I suspect that this might be caused by name resolution problems: The
server can't resolve the client's name properly.
If you have a WINS server running on your network make sure that client
and server are configured to use it. 
Of course, I could be wrong - but it is worth to check it out.

Cheers,
Thomas
