Mapping Drive Thru Cisco VPN and Sygate Firewall

[itsmythg]

I connect to my company over a Broadband direct connection on xp, (problem existed on 98 too). We use Cisco VPN to connect with company servers. I can logon too Unix, IBM Main Frame and get my mail via Outlook. I can ping the public server, but cannot map to any folders. I get the message " Network Path not not found".

Any help with this would be appreciated. I have tried tying the VPN to a specific port, I have made advance rules for the ip address.

quick suggestions:

try to temporarly open everyting from your ip and see if it works then (not using vpn)
it could be that the router/modem on "your" side of the line is acting as a firewall of some sort
that should give you some more clues
make sure that the firewall is not blocking outgoing smb
i guess you have tried connecting with file://company.computers.ipaddress.here instead of computer name /dns name

netbeui and vpn are not good friends

Thanks TheGrey for your response.

I forgot to mention I tried dropping the Fire Wall and I still am unable to map drives. I have tried using IP address to connect with explorer and that doesn't seem to work.

I am using a Sprint Broadband Modem with no other routers or hubs.
