Re: VPN connected but cannot map folders on my computer.

The major problem with most VPN is the fact that you can not browse the
network by name. VPN only normally transfers IP traffic by IP address. You
need to be able to map IP addresses to a Windows name. Netbios for IP should
provide this fature but I can not see you to configure this within XP standard
VPN client.

Infact the firewall doesnt effect it. Because my colleagues firewall is
on and it still runs.

I am trying to connect to our headquarters server using VPN (windows
XP).
I am able to successfully connect to the server (passes authentication)
but am not able to map network drive on my computer.

I was able to map the network drive on my colleague's computer and I
successfully installed the application and his computer is working
flawlessly.

Also I have to uncheck (use default gateway on remote network) option
under TCP/IP -> advanced settings for me to surf the web/ check email
while I am connected to the VPN.

My colleagues IP settings are as follows:
Ethernet adapter settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.155
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.1.254

PPP adapter
IP address: 169.254.89.14
Subnet mask:255.255.255.255
Default gateway:169.254.89.14

My IP settings (of the comp that is not able to map the network drive)
Ethernet adapter settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.103
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.1.254

PPP adapter
IP address: 169.254.103.134
Subnet mask:255.255.255.255
Default gateway: 169.254.103.134

Also I was able to connect to the server earlier during the week:- but
now I am not able to do so.

Something tells me there is a mistake at the corporate server,
There is somehow an IP conflict at their end which is causing an error
here
There error comes up when I try to map the network drive.
"Network path \\xxxx\xxx could not be found"

But the big guns are there, hence I have to be completely sure that I
have all the bases covered at my end before I point the finger at them.

I have tried to explain the problem as detailed as possible.
I have a working instance of the VPN connection and mine doesn't
work. That's frustrating.

Any help will be appreciated.

is xp firewall off at both ends?

Flamer.
