into the Computer Named text box, and click Find Now. To access the computer
remotely, double-click on the computer icon in the box.
Adding, Modifying and Deleting Destination Networks
You can add, modify or delete destination networks. To add a second destination
network, click Add New Network... and define the Network and Subnet Mask
fields of the second network segment. To modify a destination network, click the
Notepad icon to the right of the appropriate destination network entry. Then modify
the appropriate fields and click Update to update the configuration. To delete a
destination network, click the Trash Can icon to the far right of the appropriate
destination network entry and then click OK to confirm the removal.

The Security Association menu also allows you to modify and delete existing Security
Associations. To delete an SA, select it from the list and click the Delete This SA button.
To modify an SA, select it from the list, make the desired changes, and click Update. Once
the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at the
bottom of the Web browser window. Click Update to enable the changes.
Accessing Remote Resources across a Virtual Private Network
SonicWALL VPN Clients, which cannot transmit NetBIOS broadcasts, can access resources
across a VPN by locating a remote computer by IP address. For example, if a remote office
has a Microsoft
®
SQL server, users at the local office can access the SQL server by using
the server private IP address.
There are several ways to facilitate connecting to a computer across a SonicWALL VPN:
•Use the Find Computer tool
•Create a LMHOSTS file in a local computer registry
•Configure a WINS Server to resolve a name to a remote IP address.
