XP to XP VPN - get drive mapped but don't see contents

[towntopic]

i have set up my XP pro machine at home and the router for VPN and can establish a VPN connection and map a drive but when the new explorer window opens after the map drive happens, I don't see any of the VPN mapped drive contents.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Check the NTFS rights on the shared folders' contents and make sure the user that is mapping the drive has rights to them.

If I right click and select Properties on the shared folder, within the sharing tab the "Everyone" group has full control. On the Security Tab, "Everyone" has full control and the permission applies to "This folder, subfolders and files"

Is this not the correct thing to check?

Two things to verify there.

1. Is the user part of the "Everyone" group locally? In my experience permissions were normally granted to network groups, verify which is the case.

2.

This will tell you how to verify the NTFS permssions are set correctly.
