The office network is based on a Windows 2000 server and uses 192.168.16.x
ip addresses. It also acts as a VPN Server.
Scenario 1
Remote client machine is running Windows XP Pro. To work with the home
network, the remote user makes a connection to The Internet, then the VPN
connection. Now, it is a while since I set this up, but I am quite sure that
I told the remote users to make a connection to the server using a drive
mapping, which allows the username and password for the office network to be
input, and stored. After the first time, as long as their password does not
change on the office server, they can just use the application without
re-entering username and password.
Scenario 2
Remote client machine is running Windows 2000 Pro. The user makes the
connection in the same was as above, but every time they connect they have
to click the shortcut on their desktop to the server's file space and then
input username and password. Once this has been done, they can carry on as
with XP.
What I want to do is simplify the connection procedure for the Windows 2000
users as much as possible. In particular, it would be nice if the office
network username and password were stored in some way as with XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Dave
