RE: drive not mapped because no network found

["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Your Cisco quote sounds like your local PCs are reaching your iSeries share via 
NetBIOS, but the NetBIOS traffic cannot flow over your VPN connection. 

In Windows control panel/Network/Local Area 
Connection/Properties/TCPIP/Properties/Advanced/WINS, do you have the box 
checked to allow NetBIOS over TCP/IP? If not, try checking that box and see if 
you can access your iSeries shares by name and/or IP address (just do Start/Run 
and enter \\ip-addr-of-400).

  Subject: drive not mapped because no network found


  I get this error "drive not mapped because no network found"
  from remote pc's accessing network via Cisco vpn client thru internet
  and trying to map drive in ifs directory.
  I can open Client Access & get iSeries, but not map a drive.
  Cisco help site says"
  IPSec does not encapsulate NetBIOS broadcast traffic.
  A WINS server is required to map a drive on the Microsoft network"
  We have no network server, just pc's and iSeries.
  Local pc's on lan have no problem mapping drive in ifs.
  Any ideas?
