VPN broadcast Issues and games

Comment:

I have successfully set up a VPN with Windows 2000 Advanced Server and various Windows clients. The VPN uses TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBEUI. The one thing that is not working is lan games (IPX and/or TCP/IP). Between clients, a game cannot be seen. Between the server and clients, a game can be seen. The only way to connect two clients is by explicitly providing the IP address of the client-hosting, however not all games support this. It is my feeling that lan games broadcast their presence on the lan, but the VPN restricts this. Any ideas for a workaround or actual solution? I thought maybe using the VPN server as a WINS server might help, but so far it hasn't. Many TIA Fritz
