Default Access denied to shared drive for remote user

Hi,

I have VPN (VPN server on a 2003 standard server) set-up and I can
access all resources on the internal network except for a shared drive
on a Windows XP Pro machine. The XP machine has a shared drive "P" and
shared folders in the C-Drive. I can map and access the shared folders
on the C-Drive just fine, but when I try to do the same with the shared
drive, I am able to map but then get "Access Denied." I have given the
remote user "Full Control" permission to the shared drive just to test
it out but it still doesn't work. Can anyone give me ideas on why this
is happening?

Thanks!

Hi,

You will need to enable the guest account in the Windows XP machine that
shows the problem.
