VPN & Mapped Drives

[Dean]

When we try to map a network drive using:
net use X: \\ServerName\ShareName - drive mapping fails

if we use:
net use X: \\10.10.1.10\ShareName - drive mapping is
successful.

IP Config shows proper IP Address, DG, SM, DNS & Wins.
We can ping server by host name successfully.
We can use start run \\ServerName and open the window for
the server. However none of the shares are enumerated.

If we use Net View \\ServerName none of the resources are
enumerate.

If we check nbtstat -c to see the NetBios names cache we
do see the server name and the IP address.

Confirmation that both NetBios, and DNS name resolution
are working.

Then why does Net View work when using
Net View \\10.10.1.10 but not with the ServerName.

Placed an entry in LMHosts. Same results.

Microsoft - Is there a fix???

Do you see a 1b entry in your cache when you run nbtstat -c ? That would be
the one for the domain.

I would look in your host file on your machine. FOr
winoows 2000 it is located in the /system32/drivers/etc
file. For win 98 it is under windows
