Hi RoyDerksen,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Is the LAN subnet of the SRX5308 different from the LAN subnet of the FVS318N?
b. Is the WINS server directly connected to the SRX5308 or to the FVS318N?
c. Is NetBIOS enabled on the VPN Policy of both SRX5308 and FVS318N?
d. Have you tried to delete the existing IKE / VPN Policies then re-create it using the VPN Wizard on both SRX5308 and FVS318N?
e. What is the current firmware version of both SRX5308 and FVS318N?
f. Is your NAS a NETGEAR device? If yes, what is the model number of it?
It would be best if you post a diagram of your detailed network setup as well as the settings of the IKE / VPN policies on both VPN firewalls.

I apologize for this is the only time I got back on this. Here are my follow-up questions:
a. Is the WINS server configured to the client on the FVS318N side also?
b. Can you confirm if NetBIOS does resolve between clients (such as PCs) on the same LAN? For example: PC1 to PC2 within the FVS318N LAN or PC1 to PC2 within the SRX5308 LAN.

No problem, struggeling almost a mounth or 2 with this isue.
a. Yes, IP's are manual added to the wins server and seen as active.
b. Yes, both sides netbios works fine on all devices.
Maybe helps this: When i'm at work and i make a PPTP connection to SRX5308 with my phone (connected at the WiFi of the FVS318N) than all works fine, but only on my phone. When i use my laptop on PPTP dito.
