File sharing through VPN

You must logon to your Windows 98 machine with the same username and password that is on the domain. After booting up, and before connecting with the VPN, you should logon locally. If you are not getting a logon screen, just go to Start and choosethe option to log off. When the logon screen appears, enter the username and password that matches your domain username and password.

I already do that the computer name, user name, and password are already registered with the PDC and I log onto that profile on the WIN 98 machine when I start up.

I need some more specific info. about this in order to better answer it. What kind of account are you using to access the NT Workstations? Is it a domain or local workstation account? Are you actually logging into a domain when connecting from home?From your email it sounds like you are not login into the domain correctly. But if that were true I am unclear as to how you are accessing the NT workstation systems unless they each have a local account defines with the username you are using. Gimeme some more info and I will further assist.

When I log on to my home machine I do not log onto the domain (VPN is not up yet). I then log onto my ISP and then connect the VPN, which requests Username and Password. This is to get in the router though, so no, I am not sure that I correctly log onto the domain. What do I do to logon to the domain after I connect through the router? Secondly, I have the same question, yes I have access to workstation, and my username is not on those machines; however, they do allow everyone ( they are print servers ) (only things on at night when I attempt this).

I apoligize if anythig is unclear, I am obviously a newbie to this.

The first suggestion (since I had the same pains) is to have a duel boot machine, the second OS should be NT that was setup on the domain you are attempting to VPN into, it makes logging and access so much easier.

The only thing that pops into myhead right now is to make sure Win98 is configured for User level access and not Share level access. The option I believe is in Client for MS Networks under Network Properties. After you select User level access, specifiy the domain name in the field provided as that will allow you to grab the list of the user database. This will perhaps alleviate the issue of your PDC not recognizing the account you are using to logon to your Win98 machine.
