VPN and windows authentication question

[KingGheedora]

I'm a developer and when I work with ASP.NET projects, I configure IIS to authenticate using my network credentials. Same for COM+ components that require authentication for network resources like network shares and databases.

Now when I work over VPN from home, these authentications don't work. Is it because my home computer is not joined to the work's domain? For example if I try to configure the COM+ component to login using an AD account from work network it doesn't let me select that account.

Just wondering how this works.

If you mean, work computer at home, cached creds are know to be 'problematic.' If you mean home computer as in personal machine well yes it won't work. Your machine is not a domain member and as such cannot participate in domain based authentication with the default settings.

Also... why work on your home computer @ home... that is what your work computer is for. Home computers on the work LAN = recipe for disaster.
