Remotely logging onto Win2K server

[sham14]

When i connect to my network externally with VPN connection I have no problem pinging any of the servers or collecting my mail. However when i try to map to a shared folder i get the following error message: 'There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request' The folder i am trying to map to is on windows2000 server with SP3 installed.

If i was then to reboot machine and change profile to log locally onto the pc (as opposed to domain) and then connect to the network again through vpn i do not encounter the same problem - i can map to the shared folder with no problem.

In summary:
1. logging onto machine locally, connecting to network by VPN and then map to shared folder works fine.
2. logging onto machine by domain profile, connecting to network by vpn(works fine) then try to map to shared folder - gives error ('There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request')

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

it may have something to do with the cached credentials. If it's possible, and not too inconvenient, try removing and re-adding the computer account to the domain.

I have tried your suggestion but had no luck i'm afraid. The problem seems to exist for all users not just one particular user.
