Some VPN Clients Can't Browse Network

I have a PPTP VPN setup on my NT 4.0 SP6a server that has worked fine for
quite awhile. When I initially setup this VPN, I had a browsing issue where
I could connect but couldn't access any of the shared resources. I setup an
Lmhosts file that I distributed to my client PCs that allowed them to
browse. Now, I have several client PCs that can't browse the network
resources - and nothing has changed on these client PCs that I am aware of.

Is there anything I should do or check on the client PCs? They connect just
fine to the server, but cannot ping or browse.

Thanks,

John

It is better to setup WINS server for VPN browsing. These search result may help,
