Were you inside your LAN or outside. If you're inside, you don't have to. But if your outside, you do since AS looks for the NetBIOS name (that's the security issue MS talks about). You almost always have to also edit the host file on the PDA with the IP address of the desktop to the NetBIOS name of the desktop. I say almost always because if you have a router that acts as the VPN server and can send out NetBIOS packets through the VPN, you don't have to edit the host file.
