Can only access server on LAN when using VPN

Howdy everyone,

I'm hoping the collective genius of the internet can help me solve the
one remaining Vista-related problem I have left (out of many...).

I recently got a new computer at my office and I was unfortunately
nominated to be the guy who tested Vista. Initially it was painful but
is now going quite smoothly. Except there is one file server on the
network that my computer can see, but can't connect to - whenever I
attempt to do so, I get "Network Error: Windows cannot access
<server>". But if I use the VPN connection, I am able to connect to
the server (although transfer rates are abysmal with network
utilization at about 2%-3%). Every other server on the network I can
connect to just fine, and I was certainly able to connect to this
server previously using XP. Very strange. I haven't find anything
online that has fixed this. Any advice?

thanks!

Hello,

what about your key store ? (start /run / control keymgr.dll)
Does it contain an entry with the name of the server ?if so, delete it
Does it work if using the ip address from the lan (I guess you use the ip
address through vpn)?
does "net session" indicate an opened session to this server ?

about vista perf:
You experience slow performance on a Windows Vista-based computer after you
establish a VPN connection

Windows Vista

When you copy large files to or from earlier operating systems, the copy
operation may be slower than expected on some Windows Vista-based computers
