Hi,
i have a peer-peer network using xp pro (on a workgroup)and i create a vpn session to a win2k server (having AD and is on a domain). the vpns uses a cisco 827h as a router which i have anabled pptp pass through and port forwarding to win2k server.
vpns works fine using the users created on AD.
i try and access the server's shared drive and i get a message to enter the user name and password. i enter the vpn user name and i do get access to the share.I click on remember my password settings. BUT after a day i cannot access the share.
i have tried to use net use as a scheduled task after the vpn is created but net use does not work.

There may be issues with xp pro not able to remember the password.. but is there any way to sort this problem.

i may have to change the xp vpn client to cisco vpn client but that may still bring the same problem.
