It's OK, could not see a reference to the BR500 and it's VPN above. The problems however are the same ... your server does certainly use WS-Discovery and by default certainly not NetBIOS (whoever brought up this idea).
Can't speak for Netgear's Instant VPN thingie or on how to make either WS-Discovery (mDNS based) and/or the remote DNS available over the Instant VPN. With a remote "internal" DNS entry made available (like server.int.yourdomain.com or server.yourdomain.local ) you would be able to reach the server using it's name at least - without the ability for the discovery over the Instant VPN.
Is there a discussion of this problem in the community here already?
