Mapped Network Drives in Remote Desktop Connection
I often use Remote Desktop Connection to get into my server to access a SQL database. Server is old (Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition).
When I RDC into the server from my work laptop, I can get in fine, access the SQL database fine and get into all the mapped network drives fine.
When I RDC into the server from my home computer, I can still get in fine, still access the SQL database fine but I can't get into the mapped network drives. I get the message that the drive is not accessible and the device is not connected. When I try to re-map the drives, it says I don't have permission to use the network resource.
Is there something I can update/change on either the server-side or my home computer so that I can access the network drives?
Thanks.

No,

It was due to not being logged into the domain. When using my work machine on the network, I could see the drive as \\shareddrive\share; when not on the network, I had to use the IP of the drive.
