Hello,

I am running a Win2k3 RRAS Server going through a Cisco
PIX 501 Series Router. I can connect to the VPN just fine
from any client, however, I have a problem when accessing
network resources from Windows 2000 Pro Clients. It will
ask for username and password everytime when trying to
connect to \\servername\sharename. If I use WinXP (Home
and Pro) it works just fine. I recently moved RRAS to the
Win2k3 Server thinking it would fix the problem as I also
had this same problem on our Win2k Server. I am using the
Same external IP to connect to the VPN.

Any Help is appreciated.

This was a weakness in W2k which was fixed in XP. It concerns the way the
client presents its credentials when requested by the server. In XP, the
credentials manager has been modified so that it always sends the domain
credentials over the VPN connection. W2k is likely to send its local logon
credentials.

Try including the domain credentials in the "net use" command.
 
Thanks, I will try that. Is there any KB article on this
or does anyone know if they plan to fix this in the next
SP. Seems like it used to work before maybe SP3 on the
Server Side.

As I said it happened both with Win2k Server and now with
2k3 Server on different domains, etc.

Nice to know I am not going crazy here.

Thanks Again!
 
Shouldn't there be some way to remedy this. It seems
like RAS would not be working correctly if credentials
were not passed properly.
