Cannot VPN Network Shares After establishing a Contivity VPN Connection.
Causes
1. WINS Server may not be configured for IPsec connections on the Contivity VPN Switch.
2. Your system may be setup for a different domain than the one on the remote network.
Actions
A. For the first problem, validate that the Contivity VPN Client has been configured with a WINS Server.
1. Follow the steps outlined above under Problems with Name Resolution using DNS Services to run IPCONFIG at a Command Prompt on NT 4.0 and to run WINIPCFG on Windows 95.
2. Verify that a Primary WINS Server is listed under the section for the adapter named IPSecShm on NT 4.0 and on Windows 95.
3. Verify that a Primary WINS Server is listed in WINIPCFG for the Contivity VPN Client adapter.
4. If there is no Primary WINS Server listed, notify the Network Administrator that the Contivity VPN Switch may not be properly configured.
B. For the second problem, skip the initial domain logon when Windows 95 starts and select Log on to the Remote Domain under the Options menu of the Contivity VPN Client dialog box.
1. You will then be prompted to log onto the domain of the remote network after the Contivity VPN connection is made.
2. This is the recommended method for users with Docking Station configurations.
3. Alternatively on both NT 4.0 and Windows 95, change your workstation to be a member of a Workgroup instead of a Domain.
1. From the Start Menu select Settings and then Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, double-click on the Icon labeled Network. The Network Control Panel applet will open. Select the Identification tab.
3. On Windows 95, the entries on the Identification page can be modified directly, while on NT 4.0 it is necessary to click the Change button to change the entries. Change to use a Workgroup and verify that the Computer name does not match one that may be on the remote network.
4. The name for the Workgroup is not important, so enter anything. Click OK to save the changes and reboot the machine.
When accessing a resource on the remote Domain, if you are prompted for a username and password, you will need to have a Domain name precede your user ID. For example, if your user ID is JoeS and you are accessing a machine on the remote Domain named CORP, you would enter your username as CORP\JoeS.
