networking - need help mapping a drive
I have 2 networks in remote locations. They are connected via VPN. Network A is xxx.xxx.1.xxx and network B is xxx.xxx.3.xxx. Both networks have a domain controller running Windows server 2008 R2 standard. Both networks have a folder named "shared". The users on network A want access to network B's shared folder and vice versa. All network users on network A have access (mapped drive S:) to their shared folder. The same is true on network B. I need for a user on network A to have access to the shared folder on network B.
First of all, do you have routes available from network A to network B and vice versa?
Secondly, are these on different domains? If so, is there a trust established? Please advise.

They are both on the same domain.
Do hosts resolve from where? The computer name of the domain controller on network B resolves on the domain controller of network A.

If the hosts resolve on each site, can you not UNC to the shared folders on site B from site A? Also you said 'remote locations'. How are the two locations connected? VPN PTP? MPLS? DS3?
