Strange File Sharing/Permission err

Comment:

Situation. 4 locations all connected via hardware vpn. server is in location A. Server is running Active Directory and DNS, acting as a file server. All locations work great most of the time. The problem is, location b,c and d will loose "permissions" to access some (not all, some shares still work, but all shares have same security settings) server shares. When this happens the server also looses acces to the remote locations. Yet, everybody still has access to cliant shares no matter where. Location "a" never has a problem accessing the server. To fix this i have to reboot the server. Any ideas?

Are you accessing file shares via netbios names? I would setup WINS services. "It happens."
