Hi,
I remember I had issues mapping drives, I only have my notes now, but you could try this...
Firstly you need to create a directory to where you will "mount" you Windows share to.
So for example in your /home/llusername/ dir create a folder for example: uni-drive
Now from my notes, and trying to transpose your details, you would need to execute, after you have opened your vpn:
See what happens, if it works.?, your folders/docs should be in/mapped to uni-drive
It is possible, but the whole username/password/permissions in a mixed Linux/Windows environment can get confusing...
