Hi.

Our Company has recently upgraded the network and server. We have moved over to Windows 2003 Server and at the same time gone over to a Domain.

I have a laptop which logs onto the domain at work and I can access all my mapped drives etc and any shared folder I require on the server.

I also want this same laptop to be able to "dial up" to Company Vigor router VPN connection whilst at home and everything appear as if I was in the office (which is what VPN is for afterall!).

When I am at home I log on as normal and the VPN connects fine. I can browse around and see the Company network in Network Neighbourhood. So connection is there and good.

The problem is I do not get the same access as if I was sitting at my desk in the office. I see a select few folders (which only have the files I have accessed) and not the full range. This also means that I don't get access to the mapped drives I need (for example - I need to run Sage Accounts at home as if I was on the network - the folder I map to doesn't appear).

If I log on as Domain Administrator (which I don't want to use) from home as opposed to my day to day log on (everyday user) I get access to everything as if I was in the office.

I am suffering from a privelage / access rights problem here which I cannot put my finger on. Can anyone help?
