   Problem Accessing Some Network Resources   
   17 May 06 21:33:21   
   
   From: dbb@dbb.com   
      
   I am having a problem accessing some servers on my office network after   
   connecting through a VPN.   
      
   I am using the Secure VPN Client - Mobile User VPN from WatchGuard   
   Technologies. I don't know what VPN hardware is on my office side.   
      
   Connecting to the VPN works fine. After connecting I can ping server1, but   
   not server2. Both are defined in my hosts table. Ping works the same way   
   with the server name or IP address.   
      
   I do the following commands before accessing the servers. They both complete   
   successfully.   
      
   net use * \\server1\dir1 /user:domain1\user1   
   net use * \\server2\dir2 /user:domain1\user1   
   I am logged in as user1 on the domain domain1.   
      
   After these commands I can access server1, but not server2, meaning that if   
   look bring up an explorer window pointing to \\server2\dir1, I see the files   
   stored as "offline". Server1 files are actually showing the files on the   
   server.   
      
   I don't know if makes a difference, but I have Offline Files enabled and   
   files in dir1 and dir2 marked for being "available offline". I don't see how   
   I ping one server, but not another. Server2 is a new machine on the network.   
   I am running Win XP on the client. I think that we have Win Server 2003 on   
   the domain controller.   
      
   Here is some more information that may be helpful. My support folks aren't   
   able to fingure out what is going wrong. Thanks for any help.
