I have Logmein Hamachi installed on a windows server 2008 machine. &nbsp;The off-site machines join the network, and map a drive M to a shared folder on the data drive of the server. <br />
<br />
The problem is that I'd like the clients to have to enter a user name and password when they first try to access the mapped drive after power up. (The clients are not on the domain - they either connect via Remote Desktop or through the mapped drive). <br />
<br />
One of the clients has to enter a user name and password to access the mapped drive (preferred scenario). But the other clients get onto the mapped drive without any password. &nbsp;This of course is not preferred in the event that their computer is stolen: the thief would have access to the server data drive. <br />
<br />
Any idea how to map a drive and need a user name/password to get onto the mapped drive?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

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.
