I sent the text my original post to sygate tech suport. This is their
reply

In order to file and print share or access mapped drives with SPF you must
allow this feature for your NIC. To do that you must go under the tools tab
on the SPF manager, then options. Under the options tab you will see the
Network Neighborhood tab. Under this tab you will need to enable both
network settings for you inside NIC. Please note: The following applications
may need to be set to all with in the running applications list
"mpsrv","kernel32","ntoskrnl","svchost", "NetBeui" and possibly "tcpsvcs"
and "ssdpsrv".

These settings will need to be applied to all systems running SPF that
require F&P sharing.

Please note: SPF 5.0 if you have Driver level protection enabled under the
security settings under option you will need to disabled it. Also you may
need to disable the "Enable smart NetBIOS" option.

Please keep all of the email history intact when replying. Thank you.

Please Note: We have a new online forum were you can post questions and view
the latest about Sygate and SPF/Pro. http://forums.sygatetech.com/
