<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to get a Laptop that connects via VPN to our server (windows 2000) to be able to connect to the shared folder on said server. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
things that i know that might help..<br />
<br />
- I can remote desktop to the server.<br />
- I can ping the server and any computer on the network.<br />
<br />
When try to use windows to map the drive, it apparently can see the drive because i get prompted for a login/pw. &nbsp;When I log in with the correct name/pw, it just keeps popping up new login prompts. &nbsp;almost like it is the wrong password or username but i am sure they are correct. &nbsp;i have tried &quot;localmachinename/username<wbr />&quot; and password and the same thing happens. &nbsp;have also tried &quot;username@domain.com&quot; with the same results. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any help is appreciated.<br />

Trouble mapping a drive over a VPN

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.
