RE: Remote Access problems

I have been unable to attempt changing the gateway as of yet.
However, I do have further "enlightenment" as to the specifics of my problem.
Over the PPP connection, Outlook connects to exchange fine, you can print,
and you can access shares on the server. However, the remotely connected
computer cannot connect to shares on the local computers. Would this be a
security setting, or a general connectivity issue that should be tackled
after changing the gateway?

--Thanks again,
