access on local network under VPN
----------
I've connect my computer (XP) to remote VPN Server (XP) which is behind a router. Once I made the connection, I can view it's share files and local area network. But for the remote computer, it can not browse my computer name in the local area network. How to fix it? and also I only can gain acess to the VPN server computer's share folder, but I can't get access to other computers (all NT). I've already add user name (same as my log in name for VPN) to each computer, but still doesn't work. The respond was " \\XXX is not accessible. You might not have the permission the access the network resources. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. The network path was not found". Can anyone please help me solve these 2 questions? Thax

File Sharing
----------
It is my experience that if you do not disable 'Simple File Sharing' in XP you will not be able to see other shared folders. As for seeing the machines in network neighborhood, that shouldn't work unless you have Wins server replicating to each other from opposite sides of the vpn. However you could add the machines to your host file and then access them by machine name.

Hope this helps.

netbios
----------
Hey,
Make sure that netbios is enabled under your tcp/ip settings. I had the same issues. As soon as netbios was enabled I was able to see and navigate network shares without issue! Hope this helps.

Access Rights????I have a VPN connection--but get msg--"No access rights"
----------
waleicow--
hello...I can't believe it...that is exactly my situation. I created a VPN using WinXP (create connection) within my own home. WE have cable ISP and a Linksys router. (Home Network) and I wanted to see if I could use XP to create a VPN through our existing internet access. My other machine is Win2000. Well, like you said.....it can't see my files and folders on my Win2000 machine even though I added my user names to both machines un users and passwords. I can't even see them in My Network places. Although i do connect to that machines ip address no problem. I get that same error you said above. XXX...check with your network administrator you might not have access rights.....etc. (Where are access rights assigned)I didn't look for Netbios installation because I assumed the TCP/IP was enough. So much for assuming. Haha!! And lastly, could anyone tell me how to disable simple file sharing in XP and I would hope that still allows me to share files. Many thanks, Wiffy3
