Need Help Mapping Drive
Running Vista, I have made a VPN connection to a remote PC over the Internet.
I can then use Remote Desktop Connection and take control of the PC. However what I want to do is map it as a Network Drive, but the folders are not visible in File Explorer. I have turned on Network Discovery in the firewall, but still nothing. What do I do to get it to work? Thanks.

I forgot to include that when I do Map Network Drive, I click "Connect Using
Different Name", and key in id and pw of remote PC, but it does not find the folders. "John Lane" wrote: Running Vista, I have made a VPN connection to a remote PC over the Internet.
