vpn connection

[stuart earley]

I have a windows xp laptop. When I log on at work I have access to all of
the network drives. However when I logon to my vpn connection at home, I
have access to the internet and exchange but not the shared drives.

In explorer I have to specify the ip address, it then asks for a username
and password. If i specify the username and password I logged on with it
does not work, but if I specify any other username and password it does
work.

Any help would be much appreciated
