Regarding Mapping a network drive via VPN, there are a
couple of issues, none of which are STN problems.
Win98 will only validate you on one domain within your
work environment (unlike NT which can handle any
number), so you can only access drives in the domain you
logged into.
To handle this, you must setup an account on the machine
you want to access. Remember, that it must be of the
same username that you logged into the network as, since
as a Win98 user, you can't change usernames.
Take all of the above with a grain of salt. I'm no
expert on this. All corrections welcomed.
