Thanks tpitch. &nbsp;The connection is already made and working. &nbsp;I have no problem connecting the VPN. &nbsp;The mystery is why, even though I have a connection, can't I browes to any shared folders on the server, or ping the server. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Strung - they are on the same subnet. &nbsp;I will change the subnet at my satellite location today and test it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I have a MAC running OSX 10.8.2. &nbsp;I also have a Windows 2008 Server with a VPN connection set up. &nbsp;On any windows machine, I can connect to the windows server over VPN connection, however, on the MAC, I can make the connection fine but, I cannot ping the server, or browes any files on the network. &nbsp;I have scoured the internet for a solution and all I can find are people with the same problem. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anyone have any thoughts on this?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance
