i configured vpn in 2000 server and have only one user connecting to it so
far
I am able to establish the connection and log
here is the problem
the connecting computer cannot access one of the servers this is the message
when i go to \\server it sais that the network path was not found (only once
i was able to connect)
when i go to \\10.0.0.1 i access all the resources just fine

no problem accessing any of the other servers or computers
I checked dns and i do have entry for this server
also my VPN runs on the same server

any ideas

thanks

Does your remote client have the domain the server belongs to in it domain
search list?

You'll need NetBIOS support for this. NetBIOS is normally blocked at routers
(which in effect a VPN is doing when a client is connecting in such as
this). WINS is normally the answer.

Verify that the client is getting the proper DNS and WINS entries in it's config for the VPN adapter. Next the client will need a
DNS suffix search list that includes the DNS name used on your network.
