Help troubleshoot wired vs vpn connectionPlaces" that all connect and browse as they should. When I go remote, I try to connect from one machine to another via Windows XP Pro vpn. The connection is made but only two of the dozen shared folders show up?? Why would only two show via VPN yet 12 when hardwired? Example: I am currently hard connected and Folders "A" and "B" are a network place and browsable. When I go remote, Folder "B" is browsable, Folder "A" does not show up. When I return and reconnect to the LAN, both folders once again are accessible. ideas on how to correct? Both systems are XP Pro /SP2 thanks Paul P Browsing over VPN is not easy. can you ping the B computer by IP?

That is the confusing part. I can browse and ping without a problem. I have program that sync's Outlook PST files and it needs a specific shared folder to carry out that action. When I am on the LAN, the folder appears without a problem. It's qualified path is \\DESKTOP\OsaSync\OsaSync_Data\ (the actual folder exists in the C:\Program Files\Osasync and is set to share) When I go remote and try to use my VPN that shared folder and others similar disappear. I then can only browse a couple of the document folders I've set up as shares. I checked with the program developer and he feels it is a Windows issue. If I use the full qualified name on the VPN, I get an error message that I am not allowed access to that file. If I use that same path when connected to the LAN, it displays without a hitch. Shouldn't a VPN and a LAN be the same except maybe slower due to transmission time ???
