Re: Mapping network drive over VPN connection?

There's nothing that I can see under the event viewer that corresponds with
not being able to map the network drive, (no timestamps corresponding to
attempts to map) and as far as I can tell, all folders that I need to access
on the server are set to "share", simple file sharing is disabled, and
"Everyone" is set to full access.

Is there a reason why the VPN connection does not show up when I click
"browse" either under "Add Network Place" or "Map Network Drive"? (Also, I
cannot add a network printer on the remote machine that resides on the
server; I'm guessing these issues are related.)

Server and clinic desktop are all running XP pro. Laptop is running XP
home.

I'm afraid that I don't know where to find an "event log." I'm learning
as
I go along.

Anything in the event log on either machine (ie. the 'server' and the
client
PC that can't map the share) that may provide a clue?

What OS is the 'server' running? I presume the clients are running some
flavor of XP, is that correct?

Nope, that didn't work.

I also tried connecting from my laptop at home to the server; I can
connect
to the VPN, and I can map a drive using \\server\c_drive.

Any ideas why I can do this from my home laptop and not the remote
clinic
desktop?

Is it possible to do this?

I have a VPN connection set up between 2 veterinary clinics. The
host
machine (named "server") has our client database located on it's c:
drive.

Our client management software is network enabled, so that if I can
map
a
network drive to the correct folder on the server, I can use the
client
database without using remote desktop. I'd prefer to not use
remote
desktop
because then no one at the main clinic can use the computer when
the
satellite clinic needs it.

When I go to My Computer and "map network drive" I cannot see the
server
in
the browse window, nor can I type in \\server\c_drive to connect to
the
hard
drive.
