Hi There,

I am hoping that someone can help me with this, as i have no more hair left
to tear out.
Allow me to explain.
We have two sites linked via a vpn tunnel, two different domains, one site
in the UK and one site in Ireland.

Both sites can ping each others routers and main servers.
RDP works either way

The problem arises when trying to open a network share located in the
Ireland site.

For example, sitting on a machine in the uk, open a run command and enter
\\192.168.16.2 - after about 30 seconds to a minute i get a error – The
network path was not found.

If i enter a hidden share ie \\192.168.16.2\c$ after about 30 seconds a
password authentication request box appears asking for credentials.
I enter the domain administrator user name and password (which i know are
correct as i have performed a rdp to the same machine) and wait – after about
30 seconds, the authentication requestor is back again.

I have also tried various combinations of the username ie
administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxx mydomain\administrator – etc All result in a
brief pause then the requestor is back.

Now going from the other direction is a different matter – if i RDP onto the
server in Ireland, then open the Run command and put in a ip for a server in
the uk – i get another password authentication request, i enter administrator
and its domain password, after a brief moment, i am presented with the shares
on that server.
