Default Can't map networks drives over VPN on Vista host


Hi all,

This problem is driving me nuts. I've been researching it for weeks
now and can't find a solution. I have a Vista Home Premium desktop, an
XP pro desktop, and an XP home laptop all connected to my LAN. I can
set the XP pro desktop up to accept VPN connections and everything works
as expected (from the LAN side as well as the WAN side of my router).
However, I can't get the Vista box to work as a VPN host. I can connect
to it, but I can't map shared drives. I'm only trying to map by IP
address and only on the LAN side of the router, for now. I can connect
a VNC client through the VPN, so I know the connection is ok. When I
try to map a network drive that is shared on the Vista box
(\\10.1.1.55\R), I get, "System error 53 has occurred. The network path
was not found." after several seconds. If I replace the share name, R,
with gibberish I get the same error, but it returns the error
immediately.

Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance!
-JT
