Hi,

We are a small company with 5 pc's and 1 windows 2003 server.

Everything in house works fine - our problem is with the one user
working remotely. We have setup the VPN by installing VPS/RAS as a
role
to the server, and going through the wizard.

The router we use had a VPN (PPTP) service for port forwarding so this
has been forwarded to our server. The external use is always able to
connect, and from the run command is always able to bring up a window
using \\servername <file://\\servername>

The problem is - sometimes he will be able to see all of the shares and
access all of the files. Other times he will see non of the shares or
files, and other times he will see random shares/folders/files!!

Any thoughts anyone ?

Thanks,

Leon
