Cannot Access Network Drives through VPN using Wireless Router

[andywleong]

Everything worked fine until about a week ago. All of a sudden I have not been able to access my network drives when I am connected through either Nortel Contivity or Microsoft VPN. I am still able to access the databases and web pages and intranet when I am connected to the VPN, it's just my network drives are not working. However, even with what I am able to get access to, I am noticing some delay. I don't remember changing any settings. I use an SMC Barricade-G wireless router at home. I have disabled the firewall and encryption and it still didn't work. When I connect directly to the cable modem, everything works perfectly.

I have tried to upgrade the firmware and resetting everything but nothing has seemed to help. I have tried calling tech support from SMC and the tech support from my company but I didn't get any real help.

I telecommute and this is very frustrating. I would sure appreciate any suggestions or input. Thanks.
