Connecting to Network Share

I have an end user connecting to my Windows 2003 server via a MS VPN and Map
to a drive.

This all works fine, VPN and user account has access.

When I browse the mapped drive I dont see any files or folders.
This user only has read and Exec. access

From two different XP systems everything is fine.
I can see the files I should.

Also if I map the drives as a diff user (with full rights to the share) on
the "BAD" system I still dont see any files/folders.

I do not get any errors I just dont see anything, infact if I try to just
view via the UNC \\server I dont see any shares at all.

Any thoughts as what to look for?


It all points to this PC but not sure what
 
-Try accessing the drive in DOS (cmd.exe) with a DIR command. If it shows
'Access Denied' but you know the user has suitable share AND NTFS rights.
then this points to a Kerberos problem.

Two possibilites here that I know of (there are probably more!) The time on
the computers is out of sync. Or, the communications are not being signed,
but the server is set to demand signing. (This latter problem is specific to
Server 2003 and older desktop OS's)
 
I did check in Dos, only see . and .. no access denied messages.

I will double check the time.
