I am able to connect to my work computer from home (both XP) thru a
VPN connection, then I have a link to my hard drive, but as of lately
when I try to open it, it is asking for a password. I enter my
password that I use to login to that work computer, but it says it is
incorrect. How I can find out what password or login is the correct
one?
The work computer is on and logged in. When I first enter the
password, the id feild is already filled out with my login ID, then it
comes back again with the name of the computer\my ID. I enter my
password again and at this point it just keeps going in this cirlce
but will not let me in.

Contact your office's IT Dept. It sounds like they changed your password.
