network security, lan manager authentication level to: send lm & ntlm
if possibleblablbla

well that`s kinda it...

i have another strange thing which maybe is related...

I`m unable to make any remote desktop connection outside my local
network.
After i make an RDP connection the logon screen pops up but just hangs
after building up half of the screen.

But when i make a vpn connection with "use default gateway on remote
network" on, then i`m able to make a remote desktop connection
anywhere...

I also have time outs when i use windows mail for newsgroups, it starts
to download some posts but then it gets a time out.. But with the same
vpn connection as bescribe above i dont have any problems at all!

Hello,

we are having the same problem with Vista Ultimate (final). I am trying to
map to a shared folder on the VPN server. Ping (ICMP) works as well as HTTP.
I've deactivated alle Firewalls on the client machine, still nothing. I've
tried to analyse communication between the machines with Ethereal, but it
doesn't detect the VPN connection on Vista.

Does anyone have a clue? Thanks for posting

It appears that numerous peopl are also having this problem with Vista. It
is a big mystery at this point.

I am very curious what the solution is to this problem because for me this
is actually preventing work from getting done.

Folks,
VPN relies on port 139 (or NetBIOS over TCP/IP) for net use (and other SMB traffic) to work. If you do not have NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled on both source and destn. machines or if port 139 is blocked by your company then net use will fail.

thanks

If you receive system error 53 when using net view \\IP, this is not port 139 or NetBIOS name issue (check the below link).

Richard, can you telnet port 445 from the Vista client to the server or any resources in the remote site?
