Hi

I am trying to set up a VPN for our sales guys working from home.

Server = Windows 2003 SBS with 2 wire 1800hg firewall 8mb connection via bt
(worst luck). Single network card only. Static ip address assigned to the
router but internal ip address to the server (normal?). Port fowarding on the
router via pptp server.

Client= Windows XP 2mb broadband from home.

Been through the setup and found the usual issues with firewall ports and
protocols etc.

I can get the VPN to authorise and connect me but once I have been connected
I cannot view any folders or files on my normal mapped drives. I assume that
the logon script does not run over a VPN or if you can run it how do you do
it.

I have full administration rights to the server so it is not a permissions
problem. I can also connect via remote desktop.

This is really annoying me now, either i'm missing something simple or i'm
just plain stupid!

Any help much appreciated.

I think I covered all the necessary info but please advise if any further
required.

Regards,

Ian Jones
