vpn can't access shares

I am stumped on this one???

I am establishing a vpn to a windows 2003 R2 domain controller that is
behind a Linksys RV042 router using the pptp server built in it. I am using
a winxp box and the native windows vpn client to connect. When connected i
am accessing the windows server like this: \\192.168.1.10 and it prompts
for user and password. I put in "administrator" and the "administrator
password" of the physical win2003 server and it will NOT take it. I just
dont understand it.

I tried the same thing on a win2k server behind the same exact router and it
take the crudentials fine and i can access all the shares fine.

advice???
jeff

Are you using WINS? If not, give it a try.

I assume all traffic is allowed between a VPN client and server and you are
using split tunneling (the local gateway)

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:

I am not using wins............. i can ping any of the computers on the
network fine........... just can't access any of the shares on the server.
I can't get past the user name and password box........ i have tried every
username i can think of that is setup on the server itself. (it is a domain
controller)

thx

"System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." error message may appear:

Is there a firewall active on the Linksys? How about on the VPN client, such
as the Windows firewall or an antivirus firewall (McAfee, Norton, etc)?

Test it with setting up RRAS on a Windows server as a VPN serve and allow
VPN passthrough to the server. If it works, then I would assume something is
set to block in the Linksys settings. If not, then I would assume the
client's firewall is blocking it. I would also use WINS to allow NetABIOS
name resolution for VPN users.
