VPN and Shares disappearing on Win XP Home

[jsaad]

we have a LAN to LAN VPN set up and running. all was running OK. the remote user can see the whole network at the home office. we mapped a drive on the remote user's computer to the server at the home office. all is working fine, then the share disappears from the user's computer. I know the VPN is up and running.

Is there a way to MAP a drive by writing a script. I guess I need to: 1) Insure the shared drive stays there 100% of the time or 2) Have an easy way for the user to re-map the shared drive. (Can i make a script that they can run to re-map the share?)

thanks for your help. look forward to your advice.

Try this:

From Notepa

net use DriveLetter1: \\ip address of pc/server\sharename /persistant:yes
net use DriveLetter2: \\ip address of pc/server\sharename /persistant:yes

OR

net use DriveLetter1: \\computername\sharename /persistant:yes
net use DriveLetter2: \\computername/server\sharename /persistant:yes

Save as a .BAT (batch file)...to the desktop and/or in \documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup (to run automatically at login).
