    I have a Netgear DG834 in my office and at home. I have a VPN tunnel connected between the two routers. I can access the web setups for both the Buffalo LS-GL NAS drives from either location. I can map "\\192.168.1.10\workdrive" from my home. However, I can't map "\\192.168.2.10\homedrive" from work.

    I has come down to my home PC is XPhome and my work is VistaUltimate. I used a XP machine at work and it mapped the "\\192.168.2.10\homedrive" without any problem.

    So what in Vista do I need to change to allow the mapping?

    Ta,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I couldn't see anything under the network place even though I had other network drives mapped.

    However, after one of the many MS updates that have happened recently it now all works?

    Ta,
