RE: drive not mapped because no network found

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?
