I recently set up a
VPN on my Checkpoint 4.1 SP1, Nokia IP330 appliance with Hybrid IKE encryption
and Split/Encrypted DNS. From my pc at home, I authenticate successfully,
using the Firewall-1/VPN-1 password and username defined on the firewall. I can
ping servers on my company's network by name and IP successfully and I can also
access shares by putting \\servername\sharename successfully.
This is exactly what I wanted.
Here is the
problem. About 90% of my company uses laptops that log onto our company
domain, me being one of them. I log onto my laptop at home just like I
would in the office, with the company domain in the domain field. I then
get prompted for my VPN id and password. It authenticates me successfully
and I can ping all my servers by name successfully. The problem is that
when I try to access a share like I did above (\\servername\sharename), I get a
message that says: (\\server is not accessible. There are currently no
logon servers available to service the logon request.)
How is it that I can
do everything successfully from a home machine but when I use my company laptop
at home, I get the error message. The weird thing is, it worked once for
me this morning through a dial up connection to an ISP but then never
again! HELP!!!
Thanks a
ton!
