I have a problem with browsing my network neighborhood with a client W2K machine. When I connect to my ISP using a dial-up service, I can login to the VPN and browse the network neighborhood fine. But when I disconnect from the dial-up and connect with DSL, I can login to the VPN, but can no longer browse the network neighborhood. Are there any settings in my Network and Dial-up connections that I should check?

Thanks,
Chip
 
I have never made a VPN connection with dial-up, but I have not been able to see the VPN network drives in Network Neighborhood after making the connection.

I read somewhere that that is a security feature of Win2K - who knows. What I did to get it into the listing is made a new network connection and manualy typed in the path (\\server\share). You could also map the network drive by manually typing in the path, but then you will get error messages a bootup because the VPN connection will not be active.

Hope this helps.
 
Yes, I can map with the (\\server\share) to get directly to the folders with the DSL. But since I can browse on machine (A) with dial-up and not DSL, but on machine (B) with a different DSL service (and going through a personal router) I can browse the network neighborhood too! But computer (A) has a different setting, somewhere, that I just can't find!
