New "Access denied" to share, from VPN + WTS
This is driving me nuts.

We've got a VPN, with access to a Windows Terminal Server (WTS). From here, desire is access to files on another system on the local network, under C:\\Program Files on the remote system. Both systems are Windows -- local is WinXP Professional, remote is Win2K Server.

From console on the WTS or another system on the network (my VMWare box), no problems accessing this particular file share. The problem only exists during a WTS session.

More disturbing: from WTS, it's possible to access other shares on the box. These are largely classed under "Files stored on this computer" in the standard Windows Explorer "My Computer" view.

Neither client nor server produces or logs error output other than the "Access denied" error dialog on the client side.

Watching firewall logs on our Linux firewall shows no blocked packets.

Any suggestions?

New Solved: needed a local user
For whatever the reason, shares other than 'Program Files' worked fine, but this one needed a local user/login on the box serving the share. Done, fixed, I'm officially notified that I rock.
