@travisrigby - If you have a VPN tunnel between 2 routers, then there is nothing to be configured for WINS name resolution to work. You will need to ensure that the PCs trying to access other network equipment are configured with the correct WINS server and have connectivity to that server. If the IPs are able to communicate, then the router is not preventing the names from being resolved.
If you are using a VPN client to access network devices by name, then you will need to configure a WINS server IP address to hand out to the VPN client when it negotiates. This can be done in the web interface by navigating to VPN Peers and the clicking on the mobile VPN peer under the "Create VPN Peers" section. Under the section "Remote Addressing", you will see the option to specify a primary and secondary WINS server.
In the CLI, this can be specified by the commands below:
(config)# crypto ike client configuration pool <Pool Name>
(config-ike-client-pool)# netbios-name-server <WINS server IP>
VPN networks have to be on different subnets due to the nature of the NetVanta routers. If a NetVanta router has to deliver a packet that is on the same subnet as one of its interfaces, it will see that traffic as local and will proceed to ARP for which interface to send the traffic out. That traffic will never be routed and, therefore, will never be touched by the crypto map.
