I have an Nt4sp6 server w/ routing and ras installed. I have 1 pc that CAN connect thru pptp vpn (win2k client). This pc can ping the server by name (thru vpn tunnel)and get a reply but i cannot see the server's resources from this pc. Only 1 pc has this problem!

I've tried the net use command and I get a system error 51 - remote computer not available, net view command gets me system error 53 network path not found.
I don't have a problem from any other pc. I've created an entry for this server in the hosts file, matched the ip & vpn settings with any of my other clients and no luck! Help, I already upgraded pc from win98 to win2k thinking the win2k's stronger net component would help!!!

You might want to check out article #15878 on www.win2000mag.com - it describes precisely those symptoms when trying to use a W2K workstation to authenticate against an NT4 domain. It also has a couple fixes you can try.

I haven't checked it out but i feel the need to reiterate, this pc WAS a win98 pc and i could get other win98 pcs to see net. shares once vpn tunnel was establish. Only this machine couldn't. Even now I haven't had a problem w/ any other win2k machines yet?!?!

I understood what you said but you still might find the article useful. If the TCP/IP related registry keys on the Win98 were corrupted and you did an upgrade rather than a fresh install, it is likely the corrupted keys were reflected in the new install.
