sbs 2000 domain joining across cisco vpn tunel

Hi,
I am working on joining remote xp clients to windows 2000
domain across vpn tunnel established between cisco routers.
The main site where SBS 2000 is located has an ip scheme
of 192.168.0.x and the remote site (only xp clients) has
an ip 192.168.2.x.

I can ping the server from the remote site and vice-versa.
However, I am not able to join the domain or perform
anything else except ping.

SBS 2000 server has exchange 2000, dns,dhcp,wins and ISA
running with firewall services disabled (functioning as
web caching engine only). Client are mostly xp machines.
XP clients located at main site have no issue in logging
or joining win2k domain. Only clients at remote site are
experiencing this problem. Both sites have dsl and static
ip. Cisco claims that there is nothing wrong with the
tunnel or routers config (1700 with vpn pack and 800
models).

This error is recevied when trying to join remote site
clients to domain:

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the
service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a
domain controller for domain boyertwnymca.local:
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.boyertwnymca.local
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.
- One or more of the following zones do not include
delegation to its child zone:
boyertwnymca.local
local
. (the root zone)

I have tried using hosts, lmhosts, wins and ofcourse sbs
dns also.

Any sugessions!

On the workstations in the remote site, how is IP's assigned? Static or
DHCP?

I have had a problem like this, also through a same VPN setup, only not with
cisco routers, because i hate those things.
Problem i had, that there where WAN filters, which blocked some TCP/UDP
traffic also through the VPN tunnel. When these filters were disabled
everything worked fine. Maybe you can find a similar setting to be disabled
in your cisco routers.

You might also try explicitly enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the protocol
properties

Please describe how things are connected..
Are the Cisco routers functioning as Firewalls?
Does the SBS server have 1 or 2 NICs?
Are local clients behind the internal NIC and the VPN in front of the
external nic?
Can the cisco routers pass NetBIOS broadcasts across the VPN?
