I'm posting this again to see if anyone has any new insight. I never
got an answer before and the workaround we were using is no longer
acceptable.

Ok here is our setup. We have an Atlanta office controlled by a SBS
2003 Server with ISA 2004. We have a network in Dallas controlled by a
Cisco PIX firewall. I have setup a site-to-site IPSec VPN using ISA and
the PIX.

Pinging between the Atlanta server and the entire dallas network works.
Dallas clients can only ping to the Atlanta server, and not Atlanta
clients, but this isn't a huge concern.

Remote Desktop works from the Atlanta server and clients to all of the
Dallas servers. RD works from Dallas to the Atlanta server, but not to
the Atlanta clients, but again this is not a big concern, just
providing it for information's sake.

What we need working is mapping to shared drives. I am only trying to
get this working by IP as we won't be using the hostname or server
names to map.

Mapping works from the Dallas servers to the Atlanta server, but not to
Atlanta clients. Mapping does not work from the Atlanta server or
clients to the Dallas network. This last one is our biggest concern.

If anyone can provide any insight why we can't map to Dallas shares it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
John

The fact is that if a client in site A can't ping a client in site B (or
vice versa), you don't have a site-to-site VPN! You are obviously lacking a
route somewhere.

Each router should have a subnet route for the "other" site through the
tunnel. If that is there it should work. If it doesn't, the usual reason is
that the VPN router is not the default gateway for the clients in the site.
If that is the case, you need extra routing on the gateway router to bounce
the private traffic to the VPN router.

This is most likely a routing/VPN issue. If you cant ping a machine, a drive
cannot be mapped.
