Les,
Thank you so much for the suggestion - that little detail has allowed me to
solve several issues that needed to be addressed, such as IE access,
workstation policies, etc. The login goes really fast and all of the servers
are available. The only minor issue that I have is that when the remote XP
system browses the network (via the VPN), it only lists itself in the
window. I have to do a manual search in order to see the server resources.
Other than that, it's working great!
Thanks again,
Chas
