VPN, Folder password request

[elduderino]

Hi

Desktop Server XP Pro to post SP2

Laptop Client XP Pro to post SP2

The tick has been removed from Use simple file sharing on both machines

I have managed to get a VPN connection working fine.I can see all Shared folders on the server.

My problem now is i get a win Logon password request (the User-name space is grayed out. If i take the tick out of Use Simple file sharing, the User-name box is available) when i try to open a shared folder.

I have checked the security permissions, for the folder, and all seems correct.

No matter which user-name or password i use, nothing is accepted.

Do i need to alter settings in secpol.msc

Thanks for any help with this.

Have you checked both your Share permissions *and* your NTFS permissions?

If possible, try accessing the share without using the VPN.
