The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DFS share works fine over site-to-site link but not VPN

Asked by doowell in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Windows 2003 Server, Network Operations

Tags: VPN, DFS, Networking

I have DFS working fine between two Win2K3 SP2 servers connected with a permanent site-to-site link.
But over a VPN from a WinXP SP3 machine in another location I can't connect to any share in the DFS namespace.
The VPN works fine in all other respects i.e. I can access the individual shares on the servers, just not the name space share.

This is the error message from Windows Explorer
"The drive could not be mapped because no network was found."

Client - WinXP SP3
Server - Win2K3 SP2

Note - I am not a hugely experienced sysadmin and fell into doing it for our family business, so go easy on the heavy stuff. I have no issue understanding this stuff, but I might need a bit of a "noddy" explanation.

Cheers.
