Re: Share access problem using VPN

OK Same Issue here

Description of problem.
1- I log on to the laptop with my DOMAIN account.
2- I connect to the VPN using "QuickVPN" and "LINKSYS RV042 Router"
3- When I try to access a server share \\server or "\\IP Address" I'm
prompted to enter a username and a password.
4- I get a duplicate username log-on error when I enter my own domain

I have enterred in the LMHOST file the line (192.1.1.1 DC01 #DOM:MYDOMAIN)
I have added WINS to the Cleint and Server and enabled this.
Another version is "Alex's" work around is logon as another domain account
You will not you then get access to both users file access (like home folders)

This seems to be happening on our Sonicwall cleints as well after latest XP
security releases.

Now the a local script will work if I rename all maps to IP address but not
if I use Netbios mapping. I am trying not make this complicated for my end
users but want to aviod scripts sitting on a desktop
