XP Home and VPN

[Richard Garland]

I am trying to connect my home computer using XP Home to
my office network (2003 server) using a VPN that is set
up and working for other remote connections.
I can obtain the connection to the VPN router and can
then ping the server by IP address and a little
unreliably by name.
I cannot see any of the network, cannot map a network
drive and start - run - IP address all come up with
network not found.
Any ideas?

A firewall on the computer is the main suspect, based on what little
you have given us. Yank all potential blocking agents with Add/Remove.

Then get Kerio Personal Firewall (free for home use). If it's good
enough for the US Air Force, it's good enough for us.

You might try putting in the remote computer's IP address in your hosts and
lmhosts files.

Since it is working on other computers, you might see what is different
about the two configurations.
