OK, thanks, got that fixed - but the problem persists.

My test winXP install just comes back with a 'network path was not 
found' error.

There are no errors in the log files....

The remote server is not directly accessible from the test winXP install.

In other words,

remote server \\kahn <---> vpn server \\lethe  <--> WinXP

I can't send broadcasts through the vpn.  There is no route between 
winXP and \\kahn; in fact winXP cannot resolve kahn.  Is there some way 
I can connect to kahn from winXP?

I can't find any documentation on msdfs proxy ; could that be what I am 
looking for?
