    Try using the ip of the computer you are trying to map too. ex: \\192.168.1.15\d:\blah would map a drive to the computer's d:\blah directory.If you create a user on JD with the same credintials as your login on the workstation, and your workstation is in the same domain as JD, you shouldn't have a problem the next time you try to connect to the mapped drive. It should log in automatically.

    You need to talk to the admin person who set up the domain.It appears that you are being logged on with cached credentials, which is not correct if you are on the domain.Either the nic is not initialised or the netlogon service has not started.

    I used the following command when logged in as administrator on the local machine and connected to the VPN and it worked :runas /user:USERNAME@DOMAINNAME "mmc %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc"
    I picked compmgmt.msc so I can set the user to the administrators group under Local Users and Groups.
