Sharing a directory on an XP (Pro) client on a NT4 network

[Mark]

I had a similar problem. My solution was to make sure that
I was logging into the domain with VPN. If I didn't log
into the domain, I couldn't browse the network
neighbourhood. (If you have a domain, try going into the
VPN connection properties, selecting the Options tab, and
selecting "Include Windows logon domain". Then click OK,
and try to connect with you VPN, this time making sure to
enter in the domain name at the login prompt.

Also, you can try adding a DNS suffix to your TCP/IP
settings of your VPN connection. Go into your VPN
connection properties, and then click the Networking tab,
and then select TCP/IP properties, and then Advanced
button -> DNS tab. Add a DNS suffix (ie. domainname.com).

This has helped my problems enormously!

Good luck.

Mark.
