Getting Authenticated using Cisco VPN Client 4.01

I have finally got my PIX 506 accepting vpn clients but now I've run into a problem I hadn't really foreseen. Once I establish the vpn I have no access to network resources! Is there a way to be authenticated on a WinNT 4.0 network once I have got past the PIX?
 
The Cisco Client has an option to "Start before login". Then you could setup your computer to login to the NT domain when you login into your local computer.
 
There is a 'Prompt for Network Logon Credentials' but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I have also set my remote computer to match the network config at work (DNS, WINS, etc). Still, I don't have access to everything. I can browse the network and even shares on machines but can't, for example, open my own home drive on one of the servers.

My office network has a 192.168.1.x net address range. VPN Clients use a 192.168.100.x address range (the 'ip local pool' on the PIX). This is done to avoid a known routing issue with the 4.01 client and the PIX. A Cisco tech told me I'd be courting trouble if I didn't do that.

Could that be the problem? Do I need to 'authorize' (set up a trust somehow perhaps)the .100.x address pool?

Thanks,

HI.

Is your VPN client behind a NAT or FIREWALL device?
Try with a dial up connection, what do you get?
Can the VPN client machine ping the pix outside interface (without establishing VPN connection)?

And as baddos asked -
Can you ping the server?
Try to ping both by IP address and by name.

Thanks for your posts. Everyone asking me about the config got me looking at it again. I redid the isakmp policy for the dialins and they are working now. I thought sure it was something to do with the client. Thanks again.
