If you can access somethings and not others, I'd still be looking for a
name resolution problem. Depending on your network layout I might check
for a routing issue also. If it is A win 2K server serving the as the
RAS server, you may be getting a different DNS server than when you are
connected to the network. Try getting the IP and typing the IP instead
of the server name. try to see if you can ping the IP or do a tracert to it.
