VPN & Mapping
I am trying to connect my Vista Home Premium laptop to my company Server2k3
network via VPN. I can connect successfully to the server/domain, but am unable to map any network shares. If I try to map to \\pdc\share I get 'Network path not found'. I found a KB article about DNS suffix that advised adding the domain to the ipv4 config, but this didn't work. This seems to be Vista specific as I can map all network shares on an XP laptop using the same settings. Anyone have any ideas? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message has been checked for all known viruses.

VPN & Mapping
Can you map using IP? If yes, this could be the name resolution issue. This
post may help. VPN Name ResolutionSeems stupid that windows vista doesn't use the FQDN for the map, but you need to use it for the map to be available over a VPN connection.

VPN & Mapping
I tried to map the shared drive both ways - \\server\share and
\\192.168.254.250\share and both failed with the same message. I can ping the server. I also tried to see the server files vis the 'run' command. Same result. Interestingly, none of the vista pc's in the office list the server in the network view, although we I can force a mapping by using one of the methods above. I am beginning to think that it is a vista bug. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... Can you map using IP? If yes, this could be the name resolution issue. This post may help.

VPN & Mapping
Thanks Robert,
I'll try the FQDN and net view suggestions on monday and re-post if it doesn't solve the problem, or at least give me more clues. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

VPN & Mapping
Alan/Robert,
I seem to be having the same problem when trying to see network shares over VPN with a Vista Home Premium client. Can I presume, since you didn't post a reply, that you managed to solve your problem? Any advice gratefully received! Thanks Mark.
