Stonegate VPN File sharing Issues

[West1979]

Ok so here is the dilema. I have searched everywhere and have found losts of people with a similar issue but no real answers.

We use Stonegate VPN client to connect to our Network. I have the following problem

We can connect to VPN and ping all servers on the internal network. I can open Outlook and authenticate to receive me mail. when I attempt to access a file share \\server\fileshare, i get prompted for a username and password. If I enter my details (same details I enter to logon to the laptop) using Domain\User I receive a message "The username you typed is the same as the user name you logged in with. That user name has already been tried. A Domain controller canot be found to verify that user name". If I use another domain account that is not mine it accepts the details and brings up the share.

I am sure this has something to do with details being cached on the laptop but it is strange as Outlook can connect with these user details but not File shares. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Laptop OS is Windows XP SP3 and servers are Win 2003 R2

Are you sure you are logging as administrator? Did somebody change the group policy? Did you install any new softwares? You can try to map a drive manually or use the below VBS file extension script:

Dim objShell,objNetwork

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") '<--- put this up one line

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "S:", _
"\\server_name\share_name", _
"False", "domain-name\username", "password"

objShell.Popup "Success!", 3, "Success", 0

Hi Thanks for the response.

I am a domain admin so my user is an administrator. I dont try mapping drives as I just type the UNC path in the Start, Run field. I can navigate to the UNC path by entering a different domain user account it just doesnt seem to like the local cached account.
