How to find networked drives with new VPN?, sbs2005, server 2003.

Tags: drives, how, see, find, sbs2005
The network is running sbs2003 and windows 2003. It has a VPN built and 2 users can access the network drives when connecting to it.

I ran the xp VPN tool and was able to authenticate and connect to the VPN, but there are no netweorked drives which is the main reason for the VPN. I checked the user account and it is the same as the other 2 users access the networked drives from the VPN.

The only difference I can see is when they connect/login to their laptops, they have to login on startup, and choose the "company name" connection and choose/check the dial up selection then they login with standard user name and PW.

I have the user login name and PW, also I have the correct ip to connect (which it does fine and she has rights to see). The only thing im missing is the drives.

Can someone explain how do I make the user/or setup their home PC to go through the login connect screen? Also why would they have to choose dial up?

I know this is probably an easy correction, im just missing something.

Thanks in advance.

*I should note she is behind a wireless d-link router, not sure if that needs to be configured, but she is connecting fine, from shortcut on desktop.
