Hello,

we've got a company network with several win2000 and winNT servers and a
Debian/FreeSWan/DSL-Gateway-PC. I've further a laptop which i use in the
company and at home. this laptop is not member of the windows-domain, it is
member of a 'workgroup'.
When i plug in my laptop at the office, i can use "net use p:
\\ip.xxx.xxx.xxx\share" to
map my network shares. depending on access rights, i'm asked for
user-information or not.
when i now take this laptop home and establish an vpn connection to the
office,
i can only map shares on win2000 or winXP systems. Mapping shares on the
winnt or
samba servers is't possible.
(Further info: these servers run http servers, so when i try to connect via
browser, i get
correct page result. this means to me that tcp/ip connection is possible).
Does this
have something todo with NetBios or so?


Thanks in advance,
Marcel

What about trying net use with the (domain?) username included:

NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
