We have 1 server that is also running ISA. The server has two nics.

In the remote location we have 3 computers. 1 xp pro, 1 xp home and 1 2k pro. I can connect fine with the xp pro and 2k pro computer. I VPN and then im able to unc path to the servers ip and access all the shares after i authenticate and the username/password screen. My problem is when i try to access the server with the xp home computer. I VPN fine but when i unc path to the server it does not ask for authentication and just simply opens a blank windows..as if there were no shares. I made sure there was no firewall, updated the nic with the latest drivers and made sure the vpn properties had the servers ip address for DNS. If i unc path to a desktop on the vpn network it will ask for authentication and if i enter my credentials i can see the shares, but it won't work when i try to the server.

Can anyone help??
