How Do I Map a Drive Via VPN Once I'm Connected to Windows Server 2003?
I need to be able to browse files on a Windows 2003 Server. I have a VPN connection already set up on a Windows XP computer and that allows me to connect and log into the server. Now how do I map the drives on the server so I will be able to browse files from the Windows XP computer?
Also need to learn how to set this up so I can browse the server files from a Windows 7 workstation.

OR...if you are using remote desktop, under options, choose disk drives to connect and they will show up like mapped drives on the server

Thanks for suggestions. I'm confused as to which IP address I need to map to? I'm guessing not the IP address of the VPN connection, b/c when I try to ping that address from the command prompt, I just get 4 "Request timed out" messages.

Also, this is on a Domain.

OK, theras2000. So that should be the IP address listed under the VPN section when I type ipconfig /all.
Let me try that.

if you dont know the ip address of the server, if you can get to ANY pc and know the server name, you can ping it, then connect

OK. This is starting to make sense. I will try some mappings and report back later.
