Configure NetBIOS Bridging with IPSec VPN

Windows networks use the Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) for several basic network services such as naming and neighborhood device discovery. Because VPN routers do not usually pass NetBIOS traffic, these network services do not function for hosts on opposite ends of a VPN connection. To solve this problem, you can configure the wireless VPN firewall to bridge NetBIOS traffic over the VPN tunnel.
