Connecting to SQL Server over a VPN & through a router...

Hi All,
I have a NetGear combined wireless router / ADSL modem, and am
attempting to connect to SQL Server from my (wifi enabled) laptop, but
am getting a 'failed to create SSPI context' message (note that I'm
using Windows Authentication). I'm connected to my work LAN through a
SonicWall VPN. If I take the router out of the equation, I can connect
fine - even through the VPN.
Outlook also has no luck connecting - it appears that some aspect of
Windows Authentication is broken by the router being included in the
setup.
I can ping machines on my company LAN when connected through the
router, and can also connect to SQL server using the SS authentication
- so I'm not far away from being able to authenticate.
Any thoughts/help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Will (LemonSmasher)Mmm... looks like I've 'solved' this. Having established the VPN
connection for the first time, I logged off of Windows, then logged
back on, reestablished the VPN connection and then authentication
worked. Must've been down to something being cached in my original
session - if anyone can shed light on this (or if its just a lucky
coincidence!), I'd be interested in hearing from you!
Will.
