I got it figured out. &nbsp;The ping is protected, but I can connect to the share with the &quot;net use&quot; anyway.

WIN2K VPN no gateway

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
