Good Morning:

I have a user that as of January 26th was able to logon to
my VPN server and map a drive with no problem. Now he can
still connect to the vpn server but cannot map a network
drive. I have tried both by IP address and by network
name too. I have tried through a commend prompt to map it
through a Net Use line and I get error 23 Network Path
not found. I can Ping the servers IP Address and in My
Network Places he can see the Domain but when he clicks on
it he gets "The list of servers for this workgroup is not
available.

For the record he has a LinkSys Router at home and is
running Windows 2000 Professional. He is uptodate on the
latest patches from Microsoft. He said that it coincided
with when he downloaded a patch from Microsoft. If this
is the case has anyone heard of this. Would creating a
LMHOSTS file help? I have 5 other users that can connect
with now problems.

Thanks,
Darren

System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is
not currently available
SYMPTOMS: 1) After enabling ICS/ICF, you can't see any computes on My
Network places. If you try, you may get "workgroup is not accessible". 2) If
you use the net view command, you may receive "System error 6118 has
occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available." message.
Resolutions:
1) This behavior can occur if you enable the ICF that will closes the ports
for file sharing by default. To open these ports, right-click the network
connection that is firewall protected> Properties>Advanced>Settings>Service
Tab>Add, Enter 127.0.0.1) for the required Internet Protocol (IP) number.
Enter UDP ports from 135 through 139, and TCP ports from 135 through 139 one
by one (the external and internal port numbers should be identical).
2) This may occur if the workgroup name and the domain name are the
different.
3) No master browser. Starting Computer Browser Service on one of w2k/xp
computers should fix the problem

I tried that and it still does not work. The problem
follows the user, whether he is at his home network or on
the road at a hotel.
