Login to network via VPN connection

by bowieb . Updated 25 years, 8 months ago

My office has a Windows NT 4.0 network with a Win2000 server offering VPN access. The problem is that my Win98 systems dialing in via VPN get authenticated from the PDC, but do not actually log into the domain, so they can’t access the NT shares.
When I try to connect to any of the NT shares, I get a message asking for a password for the IPC$ share. (there are no passwords on these shares and neither my password, nor the administrator password are accepted)

When I try to connect to any of the Win98 shares, I can see them, but only after getting 3 or 4 messages complaining about not being able to browse the workgroup they’re in.

I know this has to do with the Client for Microsoft Networking. How can I configure it to log the computer into the domain only after the VPN connection has been made, but still be able to connect to local shares before making the connection?

I have been able to get limited success by playing with the bindings (bind the Client for MS Networking only to TCP/IP for VPN), but that seems to break my local networking.
