Has anyone else come across this yet? When I connect to a Win2003
server across the public internet via a Vista PPTP VPN client, after
several hours (or days) of leaving the connection active, connectivity
to my network shares (on a local Win2003 server) is lost. This
doesn't happen with the Windows XP VPN client in the same environment.

Both local and remote servers are Windows 2003 SBS SP1. Both have an
internal DNS. There was only one A record for the Vista machine in
the local server's DNS. Note that this problem also occured with
Vista RC1. It's the reason I gave up using it.

Network Vista to XP - Access Denied only Vista to XP Windows 7 Hi, I believe I've exhausted most of the suggestions in this forum to recap the system details and the efforts to network as of now. Problem: The Vista machine sees the XP machine; but, when I try to expand the XP machine by double-clicking on it, I get an error message that the XP machine is not accessible and that access is denied (immediately). If, however, I look at
Vista "local only" with 0.0.0.0 default gateway. Why Microsoft? Wh Windows 7 We Wireless 3945 with the most current drivers. We also have these cards connecting fine with XP.

Lose local network file access when connecting to VPN of a client Windows 7 Hi, I am running Windows Vista and am in IT Support. When connected via a LAN cable I have access to network drives etc and all works peachy. As soon as I connect to a client VPN I lose access to all my network drives via mapped drives and UNC paths. Funnily my access to the Exchange server is still perfect. When I disconnect from the VPN to the client network I gain access to the network drives again. I ran an nslookup" while disconnected from the VPN and only connected to LAN via network cable and I connect to my company DNS server. Once I connect to the VPN of the client and run "nslookup" again I connect
