    question Can't print on PC after VPN connection

    My problem is:

    I have a laptop (running vista) that I use to VPN to my company network running single domain. Once VPN is connected I remote into particular PC running my mYOB software so lets call that PC, MYOB (running XP). I don't have any problems using apps or printing. Problem occurs when I go back to office and log on to MYOB PC, I can't print until i reboot the machine. Once i reboot the machine I can print again, that is until I VPN again and the process starts again.
    Additional problem is that this MYOB pc is running our IP phone software and shouldnt be rebooted.

    Aditional info: Printers are network printers with IP. Domain is controled by server running server2003


    Any ideas??

    Yeah, thats correct. Once you have established the VPN connection, you will need to browse to the computer that has the printer shared. The printer must be shared on the computer. Once you browser to the computer, you will find the shared folders and printer there. Now right-click on the printer and select 'Connect'. It will then install the printer drivers on your computer. Now try to print a page and it will ask you to select the printer. Here if there are many printers, select the appropriate one and print.
