Mapping drives across a VPN from one domain to another

Tags: Microsoft, Small business Server 2003, sp1, running ISA Server 2004
I have a workstation using a domain profile that is managed by the default group policy.  I have another workstation across a VPN in a different domain that is trying to map a drive to the first workstation.
We had this working but have lost the mapped drive and cannot get it back.
I can ping the station I am trying to map.
The drive I am trying to map is shared and can be mapped locally.
I have tried every combination of login/password that we have (local and domain as well as using the correct domain admin account on the other side of the VPN.

I feel that the issue is in the group policy managed by the domain and/or that I should be able to add an exclusion to the first domain local firewall to let the workstation that is trying to map a drive do so.
