I am certain this is a Windows issue but I am posting it here because I get the error only when connecting through VPN.
The PROBLEM is that I cannot map a drive letter on a client PC (W2K pro) when connecting through Cisco VPN client. I also cannot access network resources by typing in the UNC path. I CAN ping by name and by IP address. This is for a PC that is a memeber of the domain but has been moved to a users house. When I attempt to map a drive the system hangs for 2 -3 minutes then reports the following:
An error occured while reconnecting L: to \\ServerName\ShareName. Microsoft Windows Network: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. This connection has not been restored.
I also get an event ID 3034 - The redirector was unable to initialize security context or query context attributes.
The reason I am sure this is a Windows problem is because I have 9 other users who can successfully map drive letters while connected via VPN. These users are a combination of W2K pro and XP pro. The PC's are both domain members and non-members.
The successful login scenario is as follows:
The client boots the PC and logs in using his/her cached profile. (Some PC's are not domain members so they are using their standard local profile). At this point, mapped drives are not accessible. The user then fires up the VPN client and authenticates with the ROUTER. If a user is using a cached profile (PC is a member of the domain and user entered network credentials)then access to the mail server and mapped drives is allowed. Users can access their mapped drives and can create new mappings. If the PC is not a member of the domain (and they use a local machine username and password), they are prompted for their domain credentials. Once authenticated, they have access to mapped drives and can create new mappings.
I know that was long winded but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
