I just installed XP on my laptop and can't map network drives (or remote desktop connection) across the VPN. I have a desktop w/ XP and it works fine. I've compared the network settings and can't find any differences, except that my laptop is on the corporate domain and the desktop is not. It seems my laptop should be working, not the desktop since it's not a member of the domain.

If anyone can help, that'd be great!
 
Here's a couple of things to try.

1) Use the following syntax when mapping: \\192.168.x.x\sharename

2) Try specifying using a different user name to connect to the share.
