<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Windows 95 and Windows NT have a compatibility
issue regarding folder sharing. This is not du to VPN setting but to
Microsoft (I have this problem on my LAN at work). The following is taken
from the Microsoft bulletin: (</FONT><A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>When you attempt to connect to a
share on a Windows 95-based computer from a Windows NT 4.0 workstation or server
or Windows 2000, the connection attempt may not succeed and you may receive an
"Access Denied" error message if the following conditions exist: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The Windows 95 server has user-level
security enabled (instead of share-level security), and the security provider
is a Windows NT domain. </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You are attempting to connect to the
Windows 95-based computer by using a UNC name (\\servername\sharename) instead
of by mapping a drive letter to the share. </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The Windows NT 4.0 workstation or
server has Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 installed.<BR></FONT></LI></UL><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This behavior can also occur with Windows
98-based computers connecting to Windows 95-based computers, and from Windows
95-based computers with the DFS client installed talking to Windows 95-based
computers. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Microsoft is very evasive on any way to solve this
problem. They say there exist a VXD driver (available on request
only). If you think this may be your problem (Try changing your
sharing access level to see if its solving your problem), send me a
personal mail, I will foward you the drivers. (The zip file is about 1.5
MB)</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> I have users that are connecting via PPTP to a network. The NT
users<BR>> are able to map drives within the network. However, the Win
9x users<BR>> (who are unwilling to move to NT) can connect and do other
things, but<BR>> are not able to map drives on the NT workgroup that they
connect to.<BR>> <BR>> I have tried adding and removing protocols, and a
few other things<BR>> (which are unfortunately, not coming to mind right
now). I can't seem<BR>> to make any changes in how it works.<BR>>
<BR>> Any ideas?<BR>> <BR>> --<BR>> "A ship in harbor is safe, but
