Hi,

Currently I am facing a funny problem. I have installed a
Cisco VPN client on Windows 2000. The connection back to
the VPN gateway is fine.

However when I login as the Domain user I am not able to
access the mapped directory.

But if I login as a local admin or any other domain, I can
login to the mapped directory after entering the valid
domain user name and password.

I think it might be something to do with the network
setting/ profile of the 2000 server.

Have anyone come across this problem. Please advise.

Thank you.

Best Regards
Dracos
 
we have seen something similar with a nortel vpn client. it is appearing to
be a dns/wins resolution problem on certain machines. for instance on my
home telecommuting machine which is nt4 i could connect to the network ok,
and could see our exchange server and most other servers, but could not
connect to the one server i needed to. i could see it in the network
neighborhood but when i clicked on it i could not see the shares or
printers, i could also ping it by name or number ok. i was able to fix it
by adding a lmhosts file that mapped that server specifically. another
win98 client had the same problem, but lmhosts didn't fix it, on that one we
had to manually list the dns and wins servers in the tcp/ip setup. on yet a
different winxp client we couldn't see this same server and a couple others,
this one was also fixed by manually entering the dns and wins servers for
the domain. i am guessing there is something wrong with netbios or wins
resolution through the vpn, but it seems to express itself differently on
the various os's.
