VPN Issues - Win2k3 Access

[pikk67]

Hi All, (also posted in another forum on this site)

Ok...let me explain. I run a Win2k3 Server as our PDC. Only a 35 user network. It also acts as the DNS server. I run DHCP etc. I used to run an NT 4.0 box last year. For our VPN, I use a Linux box with FreeSWAN. The problem I'm finding now with the Win2k3 box is that I can no longer connect to any shares on that server when I VPN in from home. It did work with NT. For instance...I try to connect to browse the network and I can see the Domain but when I try to access it...all I see is my laptop. If I try to connect by IP or by typing the share name...I get; "there are currently no logon servers to service the logon request". Even Net Use does not work.

I guess I'm a little green yet for Win2k3 so I must have overlooked something. Any ideas?

By the way...my laptop is Windows 2000 Pro and I can connect to my Exchange Server (runing NT 4.0) just fine.

Thanks in advance!

P'

PS. I just thought of something...I guess I might have an issue once I get the new 2003 Exchange server up and running. I may lose my Exchange connectivity altogether.

You may not have to correct ports open for Kerberos....

Also, clients by default use UPD for Kerberos which is connectionless. Try switching to TCP which is much better

Port 88 udp/tcp must be open.
