I have an i700 upgraded to 2003.

I can't get into anything locally or over a vpn to my 2003 server.

I'm running 2003 server (stand alone, no domain controller). I've tried both
SMB and Netbios fileshares.

You got further than me. I can't even access my laptop I'm partnered with.

Sorry I'm clueless, just sharing the frustration. I can't even count the
hours I've spent on this. I'm currently enjoying some beers, so my thoughts
are limited. Perhaps we can start a dialog and get the bottom of it over the
coming weeks.

My MAIN problem seems to be a networking issue. I haven't even gotten to an
authentication dialog yet.
