The fact that you see NBNS broadcasts from your VPN clients under these 
circumstances tells me that they're not resolving the target host names via DNS 
(or WINS, for that matter).
Without going into the deep, dark mysteries of Windows name resolution, the 
basic name resolution process uses DNS, then WINS, and finally, NBNS Bcst.

You need to make sure that:

1.       your DHCP client names are being properly registered and updated in 
your internal DNS structure

2.       the VPN clients

a.       are configured to use the internal DNS servers where the DHCP clients 
register

b.      use the proper DNS suffix for unqualified name resolution

If you can connect using fully-qualified names or by IP address, but fail to 
connect using unqualified names, you've just proven the "unqualified name 
resolution failure" part of the theory.

HTH,
Jim

Subject: [isalist] NetBios Name Server - Denied

Have an interesting problem on my TMG 2010 firewall. When I VPN in, the only 
clients on my internal network that I can RDP to, are those with STATIC IP 
Addresses. Any clients assigned a IP addr by DHCP, I cannot RDP connect to.

My TMG log throws the error "NetBios Name Server - Denied Connection"

Is this because I do not have the "DHCP Relay Agent" properly configured on the 
TMG Server?

I am currently using static assigned IP addresses on my TMG Server to VPN 
clients. Internal network is 192.168.1.x, VPN assigned is a pool of 10 
addresses in the 192.168.100.x range.

I do have the article on properly setting up the "DHCP Relay Agent", if this is 
my issue. Just wanted to make sure first. Yes, I'll do a TMG Config backup 
first :)

This article was written for W2K3 and ISA 2004 but looks like I can I still 
apply the principles to TMG 2010 and W2K8 R2.

Subject: [isalist] Any more TMG upgrades?

Can anyone tell me if there will be any more TMG version upgrades?

I ask because we are nearing the date where we have to renew our Software 
Assurance on TMG, and I'm trying to decide if I should renew it or not. I'm 
thinking "not," but I'd like to know for sure.

Thanks,
Rob
