Understanding user access 1

[pcunix]

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding things.

Customer has a Win2k server, not a domain controller, but user accounts set up to grant and restrict access to certian shared folders. All that works fine on the LAN.

Now I'm coming in remotely through an external vpn. From the NT servers point of view, I'm just someone from another subnet coming through a router.

As a remote user, I can access shares that allow "Everyone", but cannot access shares that have specific permission set.

So apparently I'm not the same user coming across the vpn? I'm not sure the user name and password presented are right: how would I see who/what I'm connecting as.. I can't find the thing that would show me connected users (not used to win2k - new to me).

I've tried searching but get too much unrelated junk.. pointers appreciated.

net use \\ip.address.of.server\sharename /user:servername\username *

enter the password for that user then browse to the share through the run command
\\ip.addressthis will show all of the shares that user has acces to on that server.

This works better than using hostnames across VPNs because the overhead of name resolution is removed

To view all of the remote sessions on the server
just type
net use

To disconnect at the remote PC
net use \\ip.address\sharename /d
