Ok, let's look at the base of you connection. The remote end works flawlessly when connecting to your subnet, correct? On your subnet, you can map a share but transfers generally bomb out, correct? I'll bet my desktop that your running Win2k/XP Pro/Server on the local end AND not on the remote end. If so, you can thank Bill G. for breaking the DNS and WINS rfc's for your problem.The integration of these two services in the latter M$ enterprise releases have caused many admins (myself included) to beat themselves in the head with a hammer. Generally, mapping the drives fixes this problem (to some degree).
