Let me guess... Your running Win 9x/ME at home.  If so, you will not be =
able to connect to the "Drive F" share because it has a space in it.   =
Win NT/2000/XP doesn't care, but 9x/ME does.

At work we have a Windows 2000 Server network with Active Directory.  I
have set up dozens of VPN connections for business clients outside of
our LAN, so that they could connect to our network and run our
applications.  These clients are using Windows NT, 2000 and XP.  It
works just fine.

But when I tried to set up the very same thing here at home, I get the
following error message, when I tried to map a drive (which always works
in other places):

"The network path \\workserver\Drive_F could not be found"

I'd like to know why I can't here, but I can at other places?  I do have
a Netgear router which I use as my firewall; could it be interfering?
