I have a user who is remoting into her office desktop from home. She can
remote into the office desktop no problem. Printers and drives connect fine
with one exception:

The home (local) C: drive does not show up on the remote computer.
The D: (secondary partition) , E: (CD Rom) drive shows up fine, as well as
a removable disk drive F:. The C: drive does not. Printers also show up fine.

Both machines are XP Professional with SP2. Other than Windows firewall,
there is no other software that I can tell that would be blocking access to
the C: drive. And if there was, I would expect that the D:, E: & F: drives
would also be blocked.

Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks in advance.
