Resolve NetBIOS names to VPN

After questioning several times regarding this topic of NetBIOS name resolution when connected to a VPN Server and ISA or TMG, I decided to stop being bum and post the settings needed to solve this problema.Na fact, it is a simple single configuration!

The nature of the problem is as follows:

When connected to the VPN, you can just drop the equipment on the internal network via the IP address and the FQDN of the machine (eg server.domain.local) is not possible to resolve NetBIOS names of the form (eg server). For this to happen, we must make the following configuration on the VPN client connection:

In the Connection Properties, click the tab and then the NETWORKING PROPERTIES TCP/IPv4 protocol. ... Click on the ADVANCED tab and DNS. Check the option DNS suffix for this connection, the DNS domain suffix, as in the image below!
